To facilitate entry into fine art thinking and avoid being misled in
fundamental ways, archaeologists must understand the principles that define and
govern each art category, whether utilitarian, fine or decorative. The
Line traditional intent of a craft like ceramics is to serve a utilitarian function and its
(5) ability to act in this capacity is essentially dependent upon the skill of properly
shaping a vessel to correspond to its task, so neither its exact manner of
construction (by hand or wheel, coil or slab) nor the significance of imagery
glazed on its surface changes its primary role "to contain", though it may add to
its value. While ceramicists must think and construct art according to certain
(10) patterns of utilitarian form, following a prototypal model that relates to the
artwork’s purpose, fine art has no such requirement.
Fine artists often work in mixed or new media, evidenced by the example
of vases created during the Greek Archaic period, which were an anomaly to the
paradigm of earlier vases because the later ones not only served "to contain",
(15) but also to communicate ideas. An examination of this apparent inconsistency
reveals both the Greek’s high regard for aesthetics and the explanation that fine
artists usually created the paintings on the vases made by potters. Though
Greek vase painting differs greatly from the work of modern artist Pablo
Picasso, he too painted on ceramic objects made by others. Contrasting ancient
(20) fine art forms such as paintings and stone or metal sculptures with contemporary
fine art forms such as computer art, video imagery, and holograms, it is
possible to see that as the culture’s technology transforms, its changes are
visible in the structural forms of fine art.
At the same time, changes in fine art indicate its mandate to both reflect
(25) and create new perceptions of the culture, but form alone is insufficient to
classify objects into art categories. Frequently, art that serves a decorative
function is confused with both utilitarian and fine art because of its similar
appearance, but the function of decorative art is the form itself; it is not
compelled to fulfill either a utilitarian task or address concepts that exemplify its
(30) historic period. Communication would appear redundant if fine artists, like
utilitarian and decorative artists, were to produce unlimited numbers of the
same object. Once an idea is assimilated into the culture there is no longer a
need to discuss it unless artists are more clearly defining or redefining it.
Therefore, archaeologists should be aware that an artifact produced in any way
(35) by formula is not fine art. The fine artist’s process is continuous from the
moment of conception until a piece is complete, and thus everything is thought
of in terms of context, so that, as a general guide, archaeologists should
consider no mark within a work unimportant and only define its meaning in
relation to the whole piece.
According to the passage, the "earlier vases" mentioned in the second paragraph constitute which of the following?
选项
A、The product of mixed media art, involving hybrid forms
B、A case of primarily utilitarian art being put to decorative purposes
C、Utilitarian art whose makers were solely concerned with functionality
D、Fine art, whose primary purpose is to convey aesthetic meaning
E、Prehistoric art, about which art historians know little
