　　托福阅读修辞目的题：Applied Arts and Fine Arts

　　【Paragraph 2】Sensitivity to physical laws is thus an important consideration for the maker of applied-art objects. It　is often taken for granted that this is also true for the maker of fine-art objects. This assumption misses a significant　difference between the two disciplines. Fine-art objects are not constrained by the laws of physics in the same way that　applied-art objects are. Because their primary purpose is not functional, they are only limited in terms of the materials　used to make them. Sculptures must, for example, be stable, which requires an understanding of the properties of mass,　weight distribution, and stress. Paintings must have rigid stretchers so that the canvas will be taut, and the paint must not　　deteriorate, crack, or discolor. These are problems that must be overcome by the artist because they tend to intrude　　upon his or her conception of the work. For example, in the early Italian Renaissance, bronze statues of horses with a　　raised foreleg usually had a cannonball under that hoof. This was done because the cannonball was needed to support　　the weight of the leg. In other words, the demands of the laws of physics, not the sculptor's aesthetic intentions, placed　　the ball there. That this device was a necessary structural compromise is clear from the fact that the cannonball quickly　disappeared when sculptors learned how to strengthen the internal structure of a statue with iron braces (iron being　much stronger than bronze). (Applied Arts and Fine Arts)

　　Why does the author discuss the bronze statues of horses created by artists in the early Italian Renaissance?

　　○To provide an example of a problem related to the laws of physics that a fine artist must overcome

　　○To argue that fine artists are unconcerned with the laws of physics

　　○To contrast the relative sophistication of modern artists in solving problems related to the laws of physics

　　○To note an exceptional piece of art constructed without the aid of technology
