体裁 说明文

Photography has opened our eyes to a multitude of beauties, things we literally could not have seen before the inventions of the frozen image. It has greatly expanded our notions of what is beautiful and what is aesthetically(审美地) pleasing. Items formerly considered trivial, and not worth artists’ painting, have been revealed and honoured by the photograph: things as ordinary as a fence post, a chair and a vegetable. And as technology has developed, photographers have explored completely new points of view: those of the microscope, the eagle and the cosmos.

What is it that delights the human eyes and allows us to claim that a photograph is beautiful? Photography depends on the trinity of light,

composition of a picture, and moment. Light literally makes the recording of an image possible, but in the right hands, light in a photograph can make the image soar. The same is true with composition. What the photographer chooses to keep in or out of the frame is all that we will ever see—but that combination is vital. And the moment that the shutter is pressed, when an instant is frozen in time, provides the whole image with meaning. When the three elements—light, composition of a picture, and moment—are in balance, there is visual magic.

Light, composition of a picture, and moment come together in a photograph to bring us the ultimate reality: a view of the world unknown prior to the invention of the camera. Before photography, the basic artistic rules of painting were rarely broken. Images were made to please, not to capture reality. But as photography evolved, painterly rules were often reacted in the pursuit of fresh

vision. Photographers became interested in the real world, good and bad, and it was the accidental detail that was celebrated. Photography invited the world to see with new eyes—to see photographically—and all of the arts have drawn new inspiration from this change.

With these basic aesthetic tools, photographers have evolved from scientists longing to “fix” an image—any image—to artistic revolutionaries. Photographs have created a new way of seeing, changed our ideas of beauty and, most importantly, made art more democratic. They have given us the visual proof that the world is grander than we imagined, and that there is beauty, often overlooked, in nearly everything.

( )4.Before the invention of photography, which was least likely to appear in an artistic work?

A.A great person. B.A lovely insect.
