W: What is the reason for this M: (23) Many artists who had been living in big cities were forced by the economic crisis to leave those big cities and move back to their small towns in rural America. Some of them came to truly love the life in small towns and to leave the "sophisticated society" in cities. These artists really built the Regionalism Movement. W: What’re the features of Regional Movement M: (24) It’s all about everyday life in small towns or farming areas. And their style was about glorified or romanticized country life. It showed stable, wholesome American traditions. W: Why did this style become popular M: It’s partly because of the economic conditions of the time. You see, the Depression had caused many Americans to begin to doubt their society. But regionalism artists painted scenes that glorified American values, scenes that many Americans could easily identify with. So the movement helped strengthen people’s faith in their country. W: What was Regionalism like after the depression M: (25)Before and after the Second World War, American culture began to take on a much more international spirit, and Regionalism, with its focus on small town life, lost its popularity, as American society changed once again. 22．What is the lecture mainly about [听前猜测] 各选项均以特殊疑问词开始，往往考查对话所涉及的主题。 [精解] 由男士所说可知，社会环境和历史事件能够对艺术运动的流行产生很大的影响。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
