Africa has always been the continent of hidden secrets, unrevealed mysteries and the place where every person dreams to travel to. Seeing and understanding the culture of Africa, means knowing its history and everything it has gone through. The cultural impact that Africa’s arts have in the general collection and its influence is important and irreplaceable.
The well-known facts are that ancient people in Africa used the image of animals a lot in their art to transmit the special meaning of the animal’s character and that it cognates with the person who owns this thing. The image of animals on different things shares with us the unique contents that the art product carries inside and how deep African people felt other people to choose animals with such a precision.
The example we are about to talk is " The Divination Portrait of a Lion King and the Man of Iron" , performed by king Glele of Dahome. This is one of the brightest examples of African culture and a visual projection of the character of a brave man.
In ancient Africa a lion could be compared only to Ra (the god of sun) , which only by itself indicates the power of this image. And it is very useful to understand the total understating of all the lion-variations, for in different art forms the image of the lion changes giving an additional special meaning to the art product. Fighting lions signify giving mercy to a timid and not subdue a proud one, which means being intelligent and strong enough to show generosity and be merciful. If the lion is depicted obedient and quiet it indicates the image of a person who is not ferocious, however he is unconquerable; the lion here is a symbol of true courage and generosity.
Very seldom we can find the image of a lion biting himself as that in " The Divination Portrait". He seems to say, "I do not spare even my own flesh. Why do you expect me to spare yours?" It is a symbol of fury.
The validity of using the image of a strong, powerful animal to emphasize the strength and bravery is unflinching. Africans simply followed their intuition and experiences, making the art product they created deep in the sense of meaning.
Certainly, the lion is not the only animal used to depict honorable qualities. But the image of the lion is one of the brightest examples of using an animal as the metaphor of power. The whole essence of the creation can be understood through the animal images it sustains in itself. And it can be grown on to a very skilled literature product by the ability to put inside it so much life depicted through the life of an animal. [br] Which of the following is NOT true about "The Divination Portrait"?
选项
A、It is an accomplishment of a king.
B、It presents an uncommon image of a lion.
C、It makes a show of power through animal imagery.
D、It uses the most magnificent form of art.
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词“The Divination Portrait”可定位至第三段和第五段。D是对第三段最后一句中one of the brightest examples的曲解,此处bright的意思是“鲜明的,突出的”,原句指出的是这件艺术品的代表性,而没有涉及它的艺术形式是否华丽。
