Let's address each question one by one.

Question 1: What is so revolutionary about Walking Man?

The answer is: the artist presented a rough representation of a figure as a finished sculpture.

Explanation for each option:

  • The artist presented a rough representation of a figure as a finished sculpture: This is correct. "Walking Man" by Alberto Giacometti is revolutionary because it breaks away from the traditional, highly polished and detailed representations of the human form. Instead, it presents a rough, elongated, and almost skeletal figure, which was a significant departure from the norms of sculpture at the time.
  • The artist exactly followed the accepted conventions used since Classical antiquity: This is incorrect. Giacometti's work was notable for its departure from classical conventions, not for adhering to them.
  • This sculpture was made of precious gems and metals from every continent: This is incorrect. "Walking Man" is primarily made of bronze, not a variety of precious gems and metals.
  • This sculpture was the first artwork the artist made after he finished art school: This is incorrect. Giacometti had created many works before "Walking Man," and it was not his first piece after art school.
  • All of the other answers: This is incorrect because not all the other answers are correct.
Question 2: What is the subject matter of Myron's Discus Thrower (Discobolos)?

The answer is: a Greek athlete.

Explanation for each option:

  • A prehistoric stonemason: This is incorrect. The subject of Myron's Discobolos is not a stonemason.
  • An Egyptian pharaoh: This is incorrect. The sculpture does not depict an Egyptian pharaoh.
  • A Greek athlete: This is correct. Myron's Discobolos (Discus Thrower) is a famous ancient Greek sculpture that depicts a young athlete in the midst of throwing a discus.
  • A Roman circus performer: This is incorrect. The sculpture is Greek and represents an athlete, not a Roman circus performer.
  • A contemporary DJ: This is incorrect. The sculpture is from ancient Greece and has no connection to contemporary DJs.

By focusing on these two questions, we have provided clear answers and explanations based on verified facts and recognized theories.
