Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly ―political‖ artist. In his wellknown painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueirosas well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinsdepicted（描述） these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems. 64. ____________________________ In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs.

Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical（圣經(jīng)的） stories in the pictures on church walls. 65. ____________________________ By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images.
