152. b. Line 11 states that the oldest PRB member was only 21 years old, so it is clear that the members were young and still devel- oping their skills as artists. 153. e. In the third paragraph (lines 14–26), the author states that the PRB believed their peers’ art lack[ed] in meaning and aesthetic honesty because it often depicted overly idealized landscapes, care- fully arranged family portraits and still lifes, and overly dramatic nature scenes. In contrast, the PRB believed art should more accu- rately depic[t] reality and portray people, places, and things realis- tically instead of in an idealized way. 154. a. Lines 34–36 state that the PRB’s realism—especially as it related to the Biblical figures—was not well received by many in the art world at the time. 155. c. Lines 14–16 state that the PRB was formed in response to the brotherhood’s belief that the current popular art being produced in England was lacking in meaning and aesthetic honesty. In addition, line 24 states that the PRB was committed to bringing greater integrity to art, suggesting that their peers’ work did not have integrity. 156. e. The topic sentence of the sixth paragraph states that one of the most distinctive aspects of PRB works—both in contrast to the works produced during the early nineteenth century and with the art of today—is their dramatic use of color (lines 45–47). 157. b. Throughout the passage, the author describes the principles of the PRB—why the group was formed (paragraphs 2 and 3) and how the group attempted to live up to its principles (paragraphs 4–6). There is little or no information offered about the other answer choices. 158. a. In the third paragraph, the author states that the PRB rejected the style and subjects of the Royal Academy, seeking instead subjects that, by their very nature, had greater meaning and more accurately depicted reality (lines 22–23). In paragraph four, the author describes how the PRB chose its subjects and aimed to portray people more realistically, thus implying that the mem- bers of the PRB had a greater awareness of social issues. In addition, in lines 38–39, the author states that the PRB often chose subjects that highlight[ed] the societal and moral challenges of the time. 159. e. The three examples in the first paragraph show that there is a wide range of styles of public art in New York City and that public art can be found in a variety of places, including more mundane locations such as the subway and post office. 8 4 501 Download 0.98 Mb.
