📖 课文原文 · Seeing the Light
Paragraph A
Seeing the light.
In recent years, the artistic achievements of two 20th-century pioneers have been brought to a global audience.
The Picasso of Brazil, in 2018, a major new exhibition opened at New York's Museum of Modern Art, Roma.
The show brought together more than 100 works by a single Brazilian artist, Tarsila Duamarao.
Although widely celebrated in her native country, the artist was relatively unknown outside Brazil.
Paragraph B
So who was Tarsila?
Born in 1886 in a small town near Sao Paulo, Tarsila Duamarao is considered the mother of modern art in Brazil.
She first developed a love for art after her parents sent her to study in Spain.
She returned to Europe a few years later and settled in Paris.
Several artists there, including Picasso, were beginning to experiment with new forms, less realistic and more abstract.
The new approaches continued to influence Tarsila after she returned to Brazil.
Paragraph C
A project to art in Brazil at the time were relatively conservative, traditional European styles dominated, with works mainly featuring natural, religious or historical scenes in soft colours.
Tarsila decided to take a different direction.
I want to be the painter of my country, she wrote.
Her images began to reflect Brazil's diverse identity, a mix of native, African and European peoples.
She used strong vivid colours to paint real-life scenes of the nation's farmers, countryside and wildlife.
This had never been done before in Brazilian art.
Paragraph D
One of Tarsila's most famous works is Abba Poro, 1928.
The title combines two words from Tupi Guarani languages, meaning man who eats people.
The painting has a playful, surreal quality, but its look and feel are distinctly Brazilian.
The work and its title later inspired a Brazilian art movement called anthropophagia, or cannibalism.
Paragraph E
Brazilian artists began to take in or digest styles from other cultures and mix them with local influences.
The result was something uniquely Brazilian.
Tarsila Du Amarau died in São Paulo in 1973, age 86 after a career spanning six decades, but her artwork and legacy live on in her native Brazil.
Paragraph F
For Brazilians, her recognition is kind of off the charts, says James Rondo, director of the Art Institute of Chicago.
She is the Picasso of Brazil.
Now, with a Roma exhibition and other international shows, Tarsila's art is being appreciated by new audience of admirers around the world.
The secret photographer.
Paragraph G
At first, they seemed like ordinary photographs, a couple holding hands, a child standing by a dirty window, a man daydreaming in a park.
The images were hidden in boxes for years and seen except by the woman who took them, Vivian Mayor, but when a collector bought some of the boxes at auction, he soon realized their contents were remarkable.
Mayor's street scenes might seem ordinary, but they were actually very special.
Paragraph H
Vivian Mayor was born in New York City in 1926, the daughter of French and Austrian immigrants.
For most of her early life, she moved between New York and Europe.
In 1956, she moved to Chicago, where she worked as a nanny and caregiver.
In her free time, she walked the city streets, taking pictures and developing her photography skills.
It was a hobby she would continue for the rest of her life.
Paragraph I
Mayor's black and white images mostly portray urban life, street scenes and regular people.
Residents carry out everyday tasks, shopping, riding on buses, walking in a park.
Often, she took her pictures in secret.
People are caught acting naturally unaware that they are being photographed.
Many of the photos reveal something personal and often deeply moving.
They show us the beauty, humour, pain and mystery of normal life.
In total, Mayor took over 100,000 photographs, but she developed very few.
Instead, she kept most of the negatives and a few prints in boxes in a rented storage space in Chicago.
Paragraph J
Towards the end of her life, she was unable to pay the rent to the storage company.
So the boxes, with her work inside, was sold at auction.
In 2007, John Maloof purchased the contents of one of the storage lockers.
Realizing the quality of the images, he added a selection of Mayor's photographs to an image sharing website, thousands of people worldwide viewed the photos and many went viral.
Mayor's photos began to appear in books and exhibitions.
Paragraph K
In 2015, a movie about her life, finding Vivian Mayor, was nominated for an Academy Award.
It is not known why Mayor kept her photos secret or how she might feel about her worldwide fame.
She died in April 2009 in a nursing home in the Chicago suburbs.
Much of Mayor's life remains a mystery, but her talent as a visual storyteller for so long hidden in darkness has finally seen the light of day.
