5Activity3:Readandanswer有位东方艺术家曾把古往今来的画家分为三类：“第一类画社会认为最好的画；第二类画自己所认为最好的画；第三类则是置好坏于度外，被冥顽不朽的力量驱动着画笔作画。第一类人终身勤于斯而不闻道；第二类人则朝闻道夕死可矣；第三类则如《庄子》书中的啮缺与道合二为一，其人，若天之自高地之自厚，日月之自明。他的艺术就是天然本真的生命，世俗形骸消亡之日，正是他的艺术走向永恒之时。”按照这位东方艺术同道的分类，梵高无疑属于第三类。他的作品每一笔都直观而强烈地透露出自己的情绪，甚至他连审视自己，感受自己的过程都明白无误地出现在了他的画作中，我们看着他的作品，仿佛看着他这个人，感受他这个人，进入他的内心世界，经历着他的痛苦，他的狂欢。梵高的成就，来源于他的信仰，对于一个艺术家，信仰是不可或缺的。“我们的人生是一个朝圣的过程。”他在信中对自己的弟弟写道。他的画就像他的人，情绪，纯粹，有力。每次我看到他的画作《向日葵》，都会被它们所灼伤，每朵花都如同燃烧的火焰一般，细碎的花瓣和葵叶像火苗一样布满画面，呈现出令人心弦震荡的灿烂辉煌，梵高以重涂的笔触施色，每一笔都像是在透支着自己的生命，一步一步走在朝圣的路上。满目金黄，灿烂神圣如同太阳。一位英国评论家说过：他用全部精力追求了一件最简单最普通的东西，这就是太阳。太阳是最原始的生命力，是一切信仰的颜色与根本，是最坚无不摧的力量。梵高对太阳的崇拜，对生命的渴望，已不仅仅是普通的热爱，而更像精神深处的一种狂欢。CompletetheboxeswiththeinformationinActivityDofurtherresearchifnecessary.P476Checkyouranswers!1oilpainting2VincentvanGogh3mostfamousworks4inArlesin18895sunflowersinavase6threeshadesofyellow7brightyellowstobrownishyellows8Thecoloursshowthattheflowersareatdifferentstagesoflife.Thepaintingleavesagreatimpressiononme.Ithinkitshowsthemeaningoflife.Eachoftheflowersistryingitsbesttogrowandshowitsbeauty,nomatterwhichstageoflifeitisat.Thepaintinggivesmeadeeperunderstandingoflife.NowwriteanarticleaboutthepaintingSunflowers.Andshareyourarticlewiththeclass.
