Lesson26 The best art
critics
课文内容:
I am an art student and I
paint a lot of pictures. Many people
pretend that they understand modern
art. They always tell you what a
picture is
‘
about'. Of course, many
pictures are not 'about'
anything. They
are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same
way
that we like pretty curtain
material. I think that young children
often appreciate modern pictures better
than anyone else. They notice
more. My
sister is only seven, but she always tells me
whether my
pictures are good or not.
She came into my room yesterday.'What are
you doing?' she
asked.
‘
I'm hanging this
picture on the wall,' I
answered.
‘
It's a new one. Do you like
it?'She looked at it
critically for a
moment. 'It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it
upside down?'I looked at it again. She
was right! It was!
