 The belief that art originates in intuitive rather than
 rational faculties was worked out historically and
 philosophically in the somewhat wearisome volumes of
 Benedetto Croce, who is usually considered the originator
5 of a new aesthetic. Croce was, in fact, expressing a very
  old idea. Long before the Romantics stressed intuition
  and self-expression, the frenzy of inspiration was regarded
  as fundamental to art, but philosophers had always
  assumed it must be controlled by law and by the
10 intellectual power of putting things into harmonious
  order. This general philosophic concept of art was supported
  by technical necessities. It was necessary to master certain
  laws and to use intellect in order to build Gothic cathedrals,
  or set up the stained glass windows of
15 Chartres. When this bracing element of craftsmanship
  ceased to dominate artists‘ outlook, new technical elements
  had to be adopted to maintain the intellectual element in art.
  Such were linear perspective and anatomy.


(156 words)

would most likely have occurred if linear perspective and anatomy had not come to influence artistic endeavor?
(A) The craftsmanship that shaped Gothic
architecture would have continued to
dominate artists‘ outlooks.
(B) Some other technical elements would have
been adopted to discipline artistic inspiration.
(C) Intellectual control over artistic inspiration
would not have influenced painting as it
did architecture.
(D) The role of intuitive inspiration would not
have remained fundamental to theories of
artistic creation.
(E) The assumptions of aesthetic philosophers
before Croce would have been invalidated.
7. Select the sentence in the passage that indicates a
traditional assumption of aesthetic philosophers.


8. The author mentions “linear perspective and
anatomy” in the last sentence in order to do
which of the following ?
(A) Expand his argument to include painting as
well as architecture
(B) Indicate his disagreement with Croce‘s
theory of the origins of art
(C) Support his point that rational order of
some kind has often seemed to discipline
artistic inspiration

painting that corresponded to craftsmanship
in Gothic architecture
