    In general, it would appear that art is more likely motivated by an interest in keeping pace
    with science and technology than by a desire to break from it. Particularly in architecture,
    where engineering is part-and-parcel of the art, new creations take full advantage of new
    technologies. For example, the burgeoning sted industry of the Industrial Age made possible
    107
    for the first time the erection of skyscrapers. And rather than avoiding the technology,
    architects embraced it. But did the artists who designed our modern office buildings view their
    "function" as keeping pace with technology? Probably not. Instead, the technology simply
    provided a larger canvas and an expanded array of tools with which to create their art.
    Admittedly, the arts-and-crafts architectural movement during the late 19th Century was a
    conscious reaction to the Industrial Age's influence on architectural processes and materials,
    as well as the overly ornate Victorian style. However, this break from technology is the
    historical exception to the rule. Besides, Frank Lloyd Wright, who championed the
    arts-and-crafts style during the first half of the 20th Century, eagerly exploited many of the
    building materials and engineering processes which new technology offered at the time.
    Eagerness among artists to embrace new technology, as opposed to providing an escape
    from it, is not limited to architecture. Much of modem abstract painting seems to convey a
    boldness and daring that characterizes modern technological progress. And in contemporary
    sculpture one finds the widespread use of the new materials of modern chemistry-from plastics
    to synthetic fabrics. Again, however, to suggest that the "function" of modern abstract art or
    contemporary sculpture is to keep pace with science seems wrongheaded. It makes far more
    sense to view the relationship between art and science as one in which the technologies are
    tools which artists use to augment their palettes. 感謝您閱讀《GRE作文范文大全(72) 》一文,出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)(liuxue86.com)編輯部希望本文能幫助到您。
