To judge the excellence in arts and crafts, perfection was the primary criterion for :

  • A.the modern artists
  • B.the modern art critics
  • C.the ancient Greeks
  • D.the art lovers

Answer: C

Perfection was the primary criterion for the ancient Greeks.

The second paragraph says the Greek concept carried the notion that the appropriate criterion for judging excellence in both arts and crafts was the perfection of their production, a view that lasted until the mid-eighteenth century.

Modern artists, modern critics and art lovers are not given that criterion. Batteux replaced perfection with beauty, and later critics found even beauty too broad.
