Art Historian: The planned restoration of the municipal fresco will undoubtedly destroy the centuries-old patina that has developed on its surface. Nevertheless, the restoration should proceed. The process will successfully remove centuries of grime to uncover the brilliant pigments originally applied by the fresco's creator.
Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the art historian's reasoning?
- Any art restoration process that uncovers the original pigments applied by the creator should proceed, regardless of whether it destroys a centuries-old patina.Cevap
- BAn art restoration project should not be undertaken if it will result in the destruction of a centuries-old patina.
- CIf an art restoration process should proceed, it must be capable of successfully uncovering the original pigments applied by the creator.
- DThe preservation of original pigments is generally more important to art historians than the preservation of a centuries-old patina.
- EThe only historical layers of a fresco that have any aesthetic value are the brilliant pigments originally applied by its creator.
Cevap
The principle stating that any process uncovering original pigments should proceed regardless of destroying a patina.
The correct answer perfectly bridges the logical gap in the stimulus. The art historian argues that because the restoration uncovers original pigments, it should proceed, despite the cost of destroying the patina. By providing a universal rule stating 'If a process uncovers original pigments, it should proceed regardless of destroying a patina', this answer choice logically forces the historian's conclusion to be true when combined with the stated premises.
