PrepTest 87, Section 2, Question 22
Critic: Almost all of the paintings from our city's art movement share two characteristics: bold brushwork and a sharp contrast of light and shadow. The only ones that do not share these characteristics are abstract paintings, which—because they are nonrepresentational—do not depict light or shadow. However, the most famous painting from our city—Blue Irises—cannot be considered part of the city's art movement. For while this painting displays bold brushwork, it does not exhibit a sharp contrast of light and shadow.
