阅读理解 Film Towards Avebury, a collection of long, mostly still shorts of the Wilshire landscape, evokes a tradition of English landscape painting strectching from Sammuel Palmer to Paul Nash. In the case of Hamish Fulton, you can’t help feeling that the Scottish artist has simply found a way of making his love of walking pay. A typical work, such as Seven Days, consists of a single beautiful black – and white photograph taken on Land Art as shown in this well selected, but relatively modestly scaled exhibition wasn’t about imposing on the landscape, more a kind of landscape – oriented light conceptual art created passing through. It had its origin in the great outdoors, but the results were as gallery – bound as the paintings of Tumer and Constable. A. Originates from a long walk that the artist took B. Illustrate a kind of landscape-oriented light conceptual art C. Reminds people of the English landscape painting tradition D. Represents the elegance of the British land art E. Depicts the ordinary side of the British land art F. Embodies a romantic escape into the Scottish outdoor G. Contains images from different parts of the same photograph
