Transcript text: Allan Houser's work Reverie is:
a) abstract and representational.
b) abstract and non-representational.
c) abstract and political.
d) abstract and non-objective.
e) abstract and two-dimensional.
Solution
The answer is A: abstract and representational.
Explanation for each option:
a) Abstract and representational: This is the correct answer. Allan Houser's work "Reverie" is known for its abstract style while still representing recognizable forms, often inspired by Native American themes and figures.
b) Abstract and non-representational: This is incorrect because "Reverie" does represent recognizable forms, even though it is abstract.
c) Abstract and political: This is incorrect because while Houser's work may carry cultural significance, "Reverie" is not primarily known for its political content.
d) Abstract and non-objective: This is incorrect because non-objective art does not represent any specific objects or subjects, whereas "Reverie" does have representational elements.
e) Abstract and two-dimensional: This is incorrect because "Reverie" is a three-dimensional sculpture, not a two-dimensional artwork.
