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 a painter is hindered because he must ______.
选项 A、work in a single medium
B、use uninteresting materials
C、create an illusion of three-dimensions
D、compensate for lack of craftsmanship
答案C
解析 文中第一段作者谈到相比画家雕刻家存在两大优势：一是他拥有craftsmanship，另一优势是他们不需要stimulate depth nor create illusions of depth，因为他们用的材料本身就是three dimensional，而painters则是在平面上作画，缺乏该优势，而需要自己在画中创造立体感，选项C正确。
