第 24 篇：Abstract Art

Abstract art used to be 有争议的. On one hand, the artists stopped painting 精致的 figures but attempted to adopt special techniques to give people different visual impacts. On the other hand, their works, including 雕塑s carved out of 大理石 or fragile clay, were all with a specific aim of showing feelings. Some conventional scholars who were allergic to abstract art said it was evidently ridiculous and neither art nor geometry. Their Traditional Art Committee predicted its soon disappearing. But nowadays, abstract art has become part of the 永久的 possessions of contemporary civilization. Galleries along the Madison Avenue give scores of superb exhibitions on typical abstract works, appealing to many who have a preference for abstract art. The Shadow of Egypt, a café in this district, has become the home to those aggressive abstract artists. Consequently, it is not a coincidence for you to meet one of these artists of great reputation in the flesh. They are asked for signatures and given bunches of fragrant flowers plus they are given a great deal of praise by their faithful fans.
