问题     If art seeks to divorce itself from meaningful and associative images, if it holds material alone as its objective, then I think that the material itself ought to have the greatest possible plasticity, the greatest potentialities for the development of shapes and the creating of relationships. For that reason I think that the sculpture which has been created with a view to being form alone has been a great deal more successful and interesting than has been the painting in that vein. The sculptor sets out with two pre-existing advantages: one, that he must have craftsmanship, and the other, that he works in the round. He does not have to stimulate depth nor create illusions of depth because he works in volume—in three-dimensional form.
    Thus Noguchi, working in marble, is able to develop relationships in three-dimensions rather than two and yet retain both simplicity and unity. He has at his disposal the advantages of light and space, and the natural translucence and glow of marble, all of which he exploits and reveals with great elegance.
    Henry Moore is one of the great contemporary imaginers who has brought new materials and new concepts into sculptural form. He discovers the naturally heroic character of bronze and exploits feelingly the graining and fine surfaces of wood. Undoubtedly his most remarkable feat has been the surrounding of open space and his use of such space as a sculptural material. But beauty and craft and idea are still paramount with Moore and he never obliterates these qualities in the shock of the new.
The author says that he prefers an art work of sculpture to one of painting on condition that______.
选项 A、form alone is more important
B、there are three dimensions
C、the artist is a craftsman
D、the sculptor is famous
答案A
解析 第一段，作者指出：如果艺术holds material alone as its objective，那么the sculpture就要比painting成功和有趣，因为前者has been created with a view to being form alone，可判断如果仅从形式和重要性上考虑，作者可能会更青睐雕刻作品，故选项A正确。
