Between about 1910 and 1930, new artistic movements in European art were making themselves felt in the United States. American artists became acquainted with the new art on their trips to Paris and at the exhibitions in the famous New York gallery “291”( named after its address on Fifth Avenue) of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz. But most important in the spread of the modern movements in the United States was the sensational Armory Show of the 1913 held in New York, in which the works of many of the leading European artists were seen along with the works of a number of progressive American painters. Several of the American modernists who were influenced by the Armory Show found the urban landscape, especially New York, an appealing subject. Compared with the works of the realist painters, the works of American modernists were much further removed from the actual appearance of the city; they were more interested in the “feel “ of the city, more concerned with the meaning behind appearance. However, both the painters of the Ash Can School” and the later realists were still tied to nineteenth-century or earlier styles, while the early modernists shared in the international breakthroughs of the art of the twentieth century.The greatest of these breakthroughs was Cubism, developed most fully in France between 1907 and 1914, which brought about a major revolution in Western painting. It overturned the regional tradition that had been built upon since the Renaissance. In cubism, natural forms were broken down analytically into geometric shapes. No longer was a clear differentiation made between the figure and the background of a painting: the objects represented and the surface on which they were painted became one. The Cubists abandoned the conventional single vantage point of the viewer, and objects depicted from multiple viewpoints were shown at the same way.51.What’s the main topic of the passage?A.

根据以下材料，回答The American Revolution was not arevolution in the sense of a radical or total change. It was not a sudden andviolent overturning of the political and social framework, such as lateroccurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations.Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. Whathappened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During theconflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Mostof them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of themore isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.America′s War of Independence heralded thebirth of three modem nations. One was Canada, which received its first largeinflux of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fledthere from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penalcolony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. Thethird new comer--the United States--based itself squarely on republican principles.Yet even the political overturn was not asrevolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notable Connecticut andRhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule alreadyexisting.British officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-growngoverning class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king andParliament.What will the paragraph following thepassage most probably discuss?A.The transport of prisoners to Australia.B.The creation of new state governments.C.Events leading up to the AmericanRevolution.D.How Canada and the United States becamefriends.
