Vermeer

1 “These look like props for a goofy Vermeer,” Calder said.

2 Groups of people pointing and arguing energetically in front of a Vermeer had become a common sight.

3 In the end, we cannot be sure, because Vermeer’s approach to his subject proves as subtle as his pictorial treatment.

4 Vermeer’s mastery of light’s expressive qualities elevates his concern for the reality of appearance to the level of poetry and subsumes its visual and symbolic possibilities.

5 Some even forgave him or her in the interest of truth, feeling that the thief had a very important mission that would have pleased Vermeer himself.

6 And yet, in Vermeer, things are rarely as they seem.

然而, 在弗米尔的作品中, 事情很少是它们看上去的那样.

7 Vermeer was an innkeeper, too, and then an art dealer.

8 A book appeared in the stores that morning called The Vermeer Dilemma: What Happens Now?

9 The walls were soon plastered with reproductions of Vermeer paintings, and library books were piled on every surface.

10 She will be returned when the lies that surround the lifework of Johannes Vermeer have been corrected.

11 The great Dutch painter Jan Vermeer has been called the Sphinx of Delft, for all his paintings have a degree of mystery.

12 The book said that Vermeer died penniless when he was in his forties, and that almost nothing was known about his life.

13 Born the son of a Protestant art dealer and innkeeper, Vermeer later became the husband of an heiress from a Roman Catholic family — a rare mixed marriage for his times.

14 Vermeer had left behind more questions than answers.

15 “Yeah,” he said slowly “Kind of like Vermeer windows.”

16 Vermeer is quite good. Simple. Vibrant. But his work fell off later.

维米尔的作品很优秀. 简单. 震撼人心. 但后期作品就差了.

17 If the doleful experience of cultural conflict on Earth were the galactic standard, it seems we would already have been destroyed, perhaps with some passing admiration expressed for Shakespeare, Bach and Vermeer.

18 A perfect storage place, it looked almost identical to the one behind the Geographer in Vermeer’s painting.

19 Whether or not museums chose to change the wall labels next to some of Vermeer’s paintings, the public had done an amazing job of spotlighting any possible fraud.

20 In Vermeer, the enterprise recurs.

在弗米尔身上, 这一创举重现了.
