问题     Jean-Francois Millet (October 4,1814 -January 20,1875) was a French painter who was famous for his scenes of farmers.
    After his first painting—a portrait was accepted at the Salon of 1840, Millet returned to Cherbourg to begin a career as a portrait painter. However, the following year he married Pauline-Virginie Ono, and they moved to Paris. After being refused at the Salon of 1843 and Pauline’s death, Millet returned again to Cherbourg. In 1845, Millet moved to Le Harvre where he painted portraits for several months, before moving back to Paris. It was in Paris in the middle 1840s that Millet made friends with many famous artists who had great influences on him. Then he gradually revolutionized his painting style and created his own one.
    This is the most well known of Millet’s paintings, The Gleaners (拾穗者) , in which poor women are removing the bits of grain left in the fields following the harvest. A warm golden light suggests something holy in this daily scene where the struggle to survive takes place. During his years of studies, Millet thought about how to best tell the sense of repetition and tiredness in the peasants’ daily lives. Lines trace over each woman’s back to the ground and then back up again and again which means their hard labor. Along the horizon, the setting sun outlines the farm with its plentiful stacks of grain, in contrast to the large shadowy figures in the foreground(前景). The dark dresses of the gleaners cut strong forms against the golden field, giving each woman a noble strength.
    In 1857, he presented the painting The Gleaners to the Salon to an unfriendly public.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
选项 A、Millet’s new painting style was influenced by his friends.
B、People in Millet’s paintings are often very active.
C、Millet was never refused by any club in his life.
