Упр.57 Unit 1 ГДЗ English Михеева 10 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 10 класс, Просвещение: 57 Look at the following quotations, comment on them and say with which of them you agree and disagree and why. The perfection of art is to conceal art. (Quintilian ) There is nothing but art. Art is living. To attempt to give an object of art life by dwelling on its historical, cultural or archaeological association is senseless. (W. Somerset Maugham “The Summing Up”) The true function of art is to… edit nature and so make it coherent and lovely. (H. L. Mencken) One is never tired of painting, because you have to set down, not what you knew already, but what you have just discovered. (William Hazlitt “The Pleasure of Painting”)

I agree with the idea that art should be natural and not look artificial. The perfection of art is to conceal art, because a good work of art should seem simple and beautiful, not overcomplicated.

I also agree that art is living. A real work of art can make people think, feel and discover something new. It is not just an old object with a history; it has its own life and meaning.

At the same time, I partly agree with the quotation about editing nature. Art often improves reality by showing it in a more coherent and lovely way. However, art should not only copy nature; it should also express the artist’s feelings and imagination.

I agree with the last quotation too. Painting is never boring because every time an artist notices something new and tries to show it on the canvas. This process of discovery makes art interesting and creative.
