As part of a joint process two museums - Museo Metropolitano (MM) and the Fundacion Arte (FA)- have decided to require that exhibits at each museum be directly connected to the strengths of their permanent collections. MM's strengths are East Asian printmaking, 19th-century European maintaining, and the 18th century US painting and sculpture; the FA's strengths are 20th century US painting, 20th-century jewelry, and art from 14th-century South America.
In addition, MM's next exhibit must be devoted to something other than European or US art and be restricted to the 20th century. FA's next exhibit must be devoted to art that is abstract, or at least art that is not fully representational (e.g. semi-abstract or semirepresentational) preferably including at least some art by US women.
For each of the two museums, select a work that could be included in that museum's next exhibit without violating any of its requirement for exhibits. Make only two selections in each column.
We are given requirements (and preference) for MM and FA exhibits.
MM Requirements:
- Related to East Asian printmaking, 19th-century European
maintaining (is it painting instead?), and the 18th century US painting and sculpture
- devoted to something other than European or US art
- be restricted to the 20th century
FA Requirements:- 20th century US painting, 20th-century jewelry, and art from 14th-century South America
- devoted to art that is abstract, or at least art that is not fully representational (e.g. semi-abstract or semirepresentational)
Preference: including at least some art by US women.
The question asks us to find exhibits that do not violate requirements. They may or may be as per preference. Also note that in this question, time must be spent in evaluating each artefact against the requirements of the two. Only a cursory glance is required at the requirements while reading the question for the first time.
Large abstract sculpture by Louise Nevelson (female, US, 20th c.)Look for sculpture - whose strength is it? MM. But it is US art which is not allowed. Eliminate
Representational woodblock prints by Hashiguchi Goyo (male, Japan, 20th c.)MM's strength is printmaking. It is related to Japan and 20th century. All requirements are met.
Select for MM
Semirepresentational painting by Paul Cézanne (male, France, 19th c.)19th century painting is not a strength of FA.
Semiabstract, semirepresentational art nouveau jewelry by René Lalique (male, France, 20th c.)20th-century jewelry is a strength of FA. Semi-abstract or semirepresentational requirement is met.
Art by US woman is a preference not a requirement.
Select for FA
