Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=13357)
The correct answer choice is (E)
This question asks for the answer choice that would best exemplify characteristics of Gilliam’s work. The right answer choice will provide an example of work that best parallels that described in the passage: He sought to get away from the literal, and explored with such works as folded, stained, and painted canvases, along with the unsupported canvas, which created a sculptural effect.
Answer choice (A): Gilliam preferred less clearly representational works, so the clear and straightforward work described in this choice would be more literal than the work Gilliam would be likely to produce, as described in the passage.
Answer choice (B): In the second paragraph, the author describes the collage of an African American contemporary of Gilliam’s, which included bits of images, but the overt political message presented in this answer choice would likely be more literal than the sort of art that Gilliam would prefer to create.
Answer choice (C): In the second paragraph, the author refers to Gilliam’s impatience with standard, literal approaches to representation, and the clear representation described in this answer would be too literal for Gilliam’s liking, so this cannot be the work that best exemplified Gilliam’s work.
Answer choice (D): This choice describes a work that sounds a bit like Gilliam’ unsupported canvas as described in lines 43-48, but the images of sea and clouds would be more literal and clearly representational than the works of Gilliam’s that are described in the passage.
Answer choice (E) This is the correct answer choice. The work described in this choice, a folded canvas with splashed paint, sounds very much like Gilliam’s work as described in lines 39-41, which the artist described by pouring paint over stained canvas and then folding the canvas on itself.
