DISCUSSION: I couldn’t prephrase this question. Just go into it knowing what you’re trying to prove: A painting can be beautiful, but lack artistic value because it’s not original.
___________
- This question is about artistic value. And this worthless answer doesn’t say a word about artistic value.
- CORRECT. Beautiful = aesthetic excellence. This shows that the artistic value of a painting is not just based on beauty. These reproductions lack artistic value because they’re only reproductions.
- This shows that forgers can fool experts. It doesn’t help support the argument that forgery doesn’t have much artistic value.
- This just tells us that most forgers fail. It doesn’t tell us whether the best forgeries can be excellent art.
- This just tells us that aesthetic criteria change. But this question is asking about what determines artistic value. That might not change. So this answer has zero impact.
