Бесіда

T. The 18^th century is considered to be the golden age of British art. What do you know about it?

P₁. The eighteenth century was the great age of British painting. It was in this period that British art attained a distinct national char­acter.

P_2: The 18 century was the century during which a truly national painting school was cre­ated in England. Portrait art at that time was the main kind of painting.

P_3: The Industrial Revolution in England greatly influenced art as a whole, as painting in particular⁴. Such trends in painting⁵ as the genre school, realistic landscape and portrai­ture schools⁶ expressed the social contradic­tions of English life. The new trends may be traced in the works of Wilkie, Lawrence and Constable.

3.  Подання тексту для читання

а) етап підготовки

T. I think we need more information about this period. Who are the typical representatives of this period? Let`s read a short information about them.

(слайд презентації)

P. They are William Hogarth, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Gainsborough, John Constable, Joseph Turner.

b) етап читання

English painters

William Hogarth (1697-1764) was the first great English painter who raised English pictorial art to a high level of importance. He was a man of remarkably individual character and thought. W. Hogarth had friends among famous English writers J. Swift, H. Filding. He was the first English painter who brought painting closer to literature and theatre.

 He proclaimed himself a "Comic History Painter", and the result was one of the most famous moral "Marriage a la Mode».

The Mar­riage Contract is the first of this series. The subject of the picture is a protest against marriage for money and vanity.

Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723—1792), the first President of the Royal Academy of Arts, was not only a painter but the founder of the academic principles of the "British school". Reynolds was the most outstanding portraitist of the 18th century. In his pictures he did not only paint portraits but produced characters.

Thomas Gainsborough (1727— 1788) was a brilliant portrait painter. A good amateur violinist and a lover of the drama, he was an artistic person. T. Gainsborough is the creator of the great English school of landscape painting. His great love for the English country and his delicate understanding of nature are felt in his pictures.

John Constable is one of the greatest landscape painters. He was the first landscape painter who considered that every painter should make his sketches direct from nature, which is working in the open air. Constable was a realist. The most famous of his works are “Flatford Mile”, “The white horse”, “The Hay wain”, “Waterloo Bridge”, “From Whitehall stairs” and others. Constable may truly be considered the father of modern landscape painting.

Another famous English painter was Joseph Turner (1775—1851), whose business was to paint the light. He proved that with the help of  light it is, possible to show qualities of any subject.

 We know practically nothing about Turner's life. Son of a London barber, he started drawing and painting when he was a little boy. When Turner was thirteen, he chose the artistic career. In 1802 Turner was elected academi­cian of the Royal Academy, where his oil paintings had been exhibited.

He died at the age of seventy-six.

Turner was a representative of Romanticism. The de­scription of nature dominated in his paintings. In his work with colour he anticipated, in some degree, the practice of impressionists. In his late works he anticipated sometimes the practice of expressionists of the 20th.

Turner's "The Shipwreck", "Burning of the Houses of Parliament" and "Snow Storm" are masterpieces of the great artist.

Mr Anderson. How long are you going to stay in London?

Іван Вулов. Близко трьох тижнів.

About three weeks.

Mr Anderson. Then you must see some of our galleries — the Na­tional Gallery and the Tate Gallery. The national Gallery is one of our best collections.

Тоді ви неодмінно повинні відвідати наші галереї — Націо­нальну галерею і галерею Тейта. Національна галерея містить най­кращі зібрання картин.

Іван Вулов. А які картини можна побачити в галереї Тейта?

And what pictures can I see in the Tate Gallery?

Mr Anderson. The Tate prides itself on being our main contempo­rary art gallery. It is also has a wonderful collection of Turner. Person­ally I prefer his early works, to his later works which are more impres­sionistic.

Галерея Тейта відома тим,що є скарбницею сучасного образот­ворчого мистецтва. Саме там можна побачити чудове зібрання кар­тин Тернера. Що до мене, я надаю перевагу його раннім творам.

Іван Вулов. Я обов'язково подивлюся картини Тернера, бо ніде в світі немає такої багатої колекції його творів. Абстрактне мис­тецтво, здається, також виставлено в галереї Тейта?

THE GREAT PAINTER
