Nineteenth-century art critics judged art by the realism of its method of representation. It was assumed that the realistic method developed from primitive beginnings to the perfection of formal realism. It is one of the permanent gains of the artistic revolution of the twentieth century that we are rid of this type of aesthetics. It can be inferred from the information given that the artistic revolution of the twentieth century had which of the following effects?
A. It de-emphasized realistic representation as an evaluative consideration for judging words of art.
B. It permitted modern critics to appreciate the simplicity of primitive art.
C. It repudiated the realistic representation found in art before the nineteenth century.
D. It reinforced traditional ways of looking at and judging great art.
E. It allowed art critics to understand the evolution and nature of art.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The first two sentences of the passage focus on realism as the standard used in past art criticism. The final sentence says that the twentieth century artistic revolution got rid of aesthetics of the kind that was defined by this standard. Thus, the first choice is the correct answer because it states this inference.
B is incorrect. The passage does not imply that primitive art was simple and hence could not imply anything about critics’ attitudes toward such simplicity. C is incorrect. The passage says that realism was rejected as the standard by which all art should be judged, not as a form of artistic representation. D is also incorrect. If it could be assumed that the nineteenth century standards include the traditional standards in their entirety, the passage would imply that the tradition is challenged rather than, as this choice states, reinforced. The last answer choice is incorrect. The passage does not imply that twentieth century critics understand the evolution or nature of art, only that they are free of a previous misconception.

IMO the answer should be A. It talks about our evolution of what we award as good art.
