PrepTest 47, Section 3, Question 17
Art critic: Abstract paintings are nonrepresentational, and so the only measure of their worth is their interplay of color, texture, and form. But for a painting to spur the viewer to political action, instances of social injustice must be not only represented, but also clearly comprehensible as such. Therefore, abstract painting can never be a politically significant art form.

Abstract painting cannot stimulate people to act.
Unless people view representations of social injustice, their political activity is insignificant.
