Passage3(2024广东模拟,B)
When did you stop, take a good look and get lost in thought? For me, it was last Sunday. My friend invited me to a European art exhibition in Shanghai.
To be honest, I’m not interested in art paintings at all. I know very little about European art. So, at first, I refused to go to the exhibition. But finally I became excited to see the artworks of famous artists like Monet(莫奈) and Van Gogh(梵高). The exhibition included 52 artworks. It was really a different experience to see them face to face.
My friend was happy to see so many different painting styles in one place. The visit made her remember the trip to Paris several years ago. She said that I could find art in every corner of the city.
Most of the visitors, I thought, had little knowledge about art like me. They were just busy taking pictures, and then showed everyone on WeChat that they had been there. Under the influence of my friend, an art lover, I began to appreciate the paintings carefully. My friend shared interesting stories behind them. Of all the paintings, Van Gogh’s “Long Grass with Butterflies” moved me the most. Those things such as grass and butterflies were quite common in my life. However, I had never thought they were worth attention. I had usually followed the crowd to see what was “special” in their view.
Actually, we should pay more attention to the “common” things around us.
Sometimes we are supposed to have a careful look and think for a while. Then we will find the true beauty in our life.
