标题: LSAT-8-2-21 [打印本页] 作者: mythicalman 时间: 2003-11-18 20:07 标题: LSAT-8-2-21 21. It is very difficult to prove today that a painting done two or three hundred years ago, especially one without a signature or with a questionably authentic signature, is indubitably the work of this or that particular artist. This fact gives the traditional attribution of a disputed painting special weight, since that attribution carries the presumption of historical continuity. Consequently, an art historian arguing for a deattribution will generally convince other art historians only if he or she can persuasively argue for a specific reattribution.
Which one of the following, if true, most strongly supports the position that the traditional attribution of a disputed painting should not have special weight?
(A) Art dealers have always been led by economic self-interest to attribute any unsigned paintings of merit to recognized masters rather than to obscure artists.
(B) When a painting is originally created, there are invariably at least some eyewitnesses who see the artist ac work, and thus questions of correct attribution cannot arise at that time.
(C) There are not always clearly discernible differences between the occasional interior work produced by a master and the very best work produced by a lesser talent.
(D) Attribution can shape perception inasmuch as certain features that would count as marks of greatness in a master's work would be counted as signs or inferior artistry if a work were attributed to a minor artist.
(E) Even though some masters had specialists assist them with certain detail work, such as depicting lace, the resulting works are properly attributed to the masters alone.

ART ATTRIBUTION不是由art historian负责的吗，关art dealer 什么事，当然可以引申说art dealer买通historian。但引申不是逻辑的大忌吗？哪位解释一下为什么选A作者: 番茄炒蛋 时间: 2003-11-19 01:59
我觉得ART ATTRIBUTION谁都可以做，奸商可以，art historian也可以 presumption of historical continuity 如果后来的画家模仿有名的画家的风格的话 奸商一定会把这幅话归到有名的画家名下，因为里面有他的画风的延续 那么这样就可以卖个好价钱 或者说有的知名画家更本就没有historical continuity ，那你就无法规类了 而 art historians 又遇到一个问题reattribution will generally convince other art historians only if he or she can persuasively argue for a specific reattribution 这些art historians又拿不出什么象样的证据，所以无法reattribution 最后奸商得利了
