Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your
answer sheet w indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The medieval artists didn’t know about perspective; they didn’t want to make
their people look like real, individual people in a real, individual scene. They wanted
to show the truth, the eternal quality of their religious stories. So these artists
didn’t need to know about perspective.
In the European Renaissance period, artists wanted to show the importance of
the individual person and his or her possessions and surroundings. A flat medieval
style couldn’t show this level of reality and the artists needed a new technique. It
was the Italian artist Brunelleschi who discovered the technique of perspective
drawing. At first the artists of the Renaissance only had single-point perspective.
Later they realized that they could have twopointed perspective and still later multipoint perspective.
With two-point perspective they could turn an object (like a building) at an
angle to the picture and draw two sides of it. The technique of perspective which
seems so natural to us now is an invented technique, a part of the “grammar of
painting”. Like all bits of grammar there are exceptions about perspective. For
example, only vertical and horizontal surfaces seem to meet on eye level. Sloping
roof tops don’t meet on eye level.
For 500 years, artists in Europe made use of perspective drawing in their
pictures. Nevertheless, there are a range of priorities that artists give in displaying
individual styles. Crivelli wanted to show depth in his picture and he used a simple
single-point perspective. Cezanne always talked about space and volume. Van Gogh,
like some of the other painters of the Impressionist period, was interested in
Japanese prints. And Japanese artists until this century were always very strong
designers of “flat” pictures. Picasso certainly made pictures which have volume and
depth. However, he wanted to keep our eyes on the surface and to remind us that
his paintings are paintings and not illusions.
It is technically easy to give an illusion of depth. However, a strong two
dimensional design is just as important as a feeling of depth, and perhaps more
important.
