问题     Between about 1910 and 1930, new artistic movement 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 Armony Show of 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 Armony 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 the appearance. However, both the painters of the "Ash Can School" and the later, realists were still tied to nineteenth century or early styles, while the early modernists shared 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 rational 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 represented from multiple viewpoints were shown at the same time.
According to the author, which of the following was a favorite subject for American artists?
选项 A、Portraits of famous people.
B、Country scenes.
C、Pictures of Buildings’ interior.
D、City landscape.
答案D
解析 第二段第一句话：一些受到Armony Show影响的美国的现代艺术家发现城市风景画，尤其以纽约为题材的城市风景画非常引人入胜。因此可以得出D项是正确答案。
