法国印象派绘画虽然在有些人看来分别存有或片面追求光学的客观主义，或把科学原理与艺术创作有机结合，以及自我表现的个体主义倾向等，但在西方传统绘画的历史性超越、对西方现代主义艺术的精神启迪等方面，提出了许多关键性的问题并进行了有益的探索性实验。因此可以说，法国印象派绘画扭转了西方美术的发展方向，开启了美术的新纪元。

Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series has become a genuine phenomenon in pop culture, approaching the popularity of the Harry Potter series.

水墨画鱼类，虽看似粗略几笔，齐白石对原物却观察得异常仔细，并抓住其主要特征进行刻画。他晚年曾对弟子胡絮青说：“鲫鱼腮旁有一条灰白的线，直通鱼尾，从这条线可以计算它身上有若干鳞片……画画的人如能这么仔细地去研究它，在画它时就不会马虎的了。”齐白石画虾最享誉于世。他早期画虾，基本上是青虾（河虾）的造型，且多是游动的群虾，用小号羊毫笔，其质感和透明度不强，虾的腿和须画得短密且欠弹性，后腿呈排列状且多至八九条。 为求神似，老人70岁后画虾，一改早年画法，加大并明确了虾身的起伏角度，同时对虾的游足也一删早年时的繁多，始而画游足五只，虾壳的质感和透明感也得到加强。80岁后他删繁就简，已不再画繁复的虾群，只为几只虾传神。画虾变化最明显的是他把虾头前面的短须省去，仅画六条大须。虾须的简化，使得

Interspersed among the many artfully composed photographs of London's most famous landmarks are dozens of pictures that capture the spirit and energy of Londoners themselves.

Already well-established in the fields of fashion, journalistic, and portrait photography in his native Berlin, Bernd Obermann moved to New York City in 1996 to experience the city’s vibrant mix of culture, ethnicity, and race. For the next five years he ventured out of his apartment nearly every day, camera in hand, to explore what New York had to offer. The results of these walks through city streets, parks, and neighborhoods are collected in this paean to a place whose energy and spirit are as palpable as they are memorable. "When I take a photograph of somebody I am also making a photo of a deeper level of myself." Says Obermann, "I believe in acceptance and not in analysis." From the Bronx to the Battery, from poor to rich, young to old, Obermann’s images reflect his own fascination and sense of discovery.
