Question

some people believe that to truly understand and appreciate abstract art one must study its creator. this belief assumes the artist’s life experiences were expressed on the canvas. the main conjecture of this theory is that to understand these experiences is to understand the prototypical art. a biographical approach expects people to see and experience the piece through the artist’s eyes. art, however, is meant to be experienced by the individual—each person’s reaction should be built on his or her own experiences. this is the beginning of a longer essay. which is most likely true of the essay as a whole? 1 it will discuss the wide variety of ways that artists and other craftsmen approach their work. 2 it will support a biographical approach for interpreting and understanding art. 3 it will argue for the importance of an individualized approach to interpreting art.

Explanation:

The text starts by presenting a biographical approach to understanding abstract art (study the creator). Then it contrasts this with the idea that art is meant to be experienced by the individual based on their own experiences. This sets up an argument against the biographical approach and in favor of an individualized approach.

Answer:

1. It will argue for the importance of an individualized approach to interpreting art.
