Like other paintings by Vermeer, this image represents modern culture.So attracted are todays art lovers by Vermeer that it was thought shocking when a recent survey found that 82% of Americans cant name who painted Girl with a Pearl Earring. Well, maybe they dont go to the movies much.It is not true to say he was forgottenthat would suggest he was famous in his lifetime. He was not. Vermeer was one more painter among the many who worked for money in the Dutch Republic in the 17th century. He was not a star like Rembrandt. He obviously took himself and his art seriously. His selfreferential painting The Art of Painting proves that. Even though he worked all his life in Delft, he painted only 35 known works and left his family poor when he died in 1675 at the age of 43.It is fitting that Paris is celebrating Vermeer, because it was the French avantgarde(先鋒派) in the 19th century who saved him from being completely forgotten. Compare his painting Woman in Blue Reading a Letter or The Little Street with, say, Edouard Manets A Bar at the FoliesBergre(1882)or Camille Pissarros The Boulevard Montmartre at Night (1897) and it is easy to see why the art of Vermeer found its natural audience in Parisian Bohemia.All these artists are likely to have known about and admired Vermeer due to the efforts of the critic ThorBrger, a veteran of the 1848 Revolution.Vermeers rediscovery is part of the history of modern French art. Vermeer is not only a great artist. He is a great modern artist.【解題導語】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了著名畫家Johannes Vermeer的生平和他的藝術特點。4How many paintings produced by Vermeer are mentioned in the text?AFour.BFive.CSix.
