※ 引述《luvhim (:))》之銘言：
: Paragraph 1：In order to understand ancient Egyptian art, it is vital to know
: as much as possible of the elite Egyptians' view of the world and the functions
: and contexts of the art produced for them. Without this knowledge we can
: appreciate only the formal content of Egyptian art, and we will fail to
: understand why it was produced or the concepts that shaped it and caused it to
: adopt its distinctive forms. In fact, a lack of understanding concerning the
: purposes of Egyptian art has often led it to be compared unfavorably with the
: art of other cultures: Why did the Egyptians not develop sculpture in which
: the body turned and twisted through space like classical Greek statuary?
: Why do the artists seem to get left and right confused? And why did they not
: discover the geometric perspective as European artists did in the Renaissance?
: The answer to such questions has nothing to do with a lack of skill or
: imagination on the part of Egyptian artists and everything to do with the
: purposes for which they were producing their art.
: 2. Paragraph 1 suggests that one reason Egyptian art is viewed less favorably
: than other art is that Egyptian art lacks
: ○ a realistic sense of human body proportion
: ○ a focus on distinctive forms of varying sizes
: ○ the originality of European art
: ○ the capacity to show the human body in motion
