His hard work paid off later. In the early 1950s, he made his way to Nanjing Normal University, where he learned painting theories and techniques from some famous artists. It was then that Yu found his lifelong artistic zeal for gongbi. Gongbi paintings usually describe birds and flowers, symbols of beauty and joy, in an artistic way with intense color. After graduation from the art school in 1957, Yu began his professional career at the Chinese Painting Institute of Jiangsu. He has since published a series of art collections. Since 1959, Yu has contributed a series of works to many important sites. Yu’s works have also been displayed in a range of national and international exhibitions. From 1986 to 1997, he held his exhibitions in such places as Beijing, Guangzhou and New York. Both the themes and artistic techniques have won widespread praise in the past years. While observing traditional rules, he uses accurate lines, powerful brush movements as well as the interplay between dark and light to represent the harmony of nature. Though he adopts a realistic style, he tries to enrich his works with spiritual beauty through his brush. Yu says, “That feeling turns into the images of singing birds and elegant flowers in my paintings.” Thanks to his careful observation of nature and artistic sensitivity, Yu is able to combine realistic description with artistic expression in his brushwork. Now as deputy director of the Academy of Chinese Gongbi Painting of Flowers and Birds and a national top-level artist, Yu maintains a simple and easy-going style. In addition to artistic creation, Yu has devoted himself to promoting his painting style as the cultural heritage of China. “Art is part of my life,” Yu says. “I am proud to be a flower-bird painter. I hope to create a bright future for it through my efforts.” 24. What does the underlined word “zeal” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Passion. B. Fund. C. Justice. D. Request. 25. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Yu? A. His school life. B. His contributions to the art school. C. His painting techniques. D. His achievements in painting. 26. Which is Yu’s painting feature? A. Adopting abstract objects. B. Excluding plants and animals. C. Combining traditional rules with a realistic style. D. Representing the imbalance between nature and humans. 27. What does Yu expect of his painting style? A. It will change over time. B. It will be passed on. C. It will look more complicated. D. It will reach the top international level. 高二英语第5页 共10 页 C There are loads of research showing that spending time in nature is good for your health and well-being. But not everyone lives near a park or can easily get outdoors. So, what happens when you bring nature into your home via TV?
