SECTION 1 - PART I
Case Study - 1 to 5 (Question Id - 1)
Read the following passage and answer the following questions.
The white European male viewer is offered a cornucopia of exotic/erotic delights, with the threat of racial and sexual
otherness defused either by its transformation into whiteness or its veiling and class subordination (the covered eunuch, the
objectified musician gazing upwards as if in an opium-induced stupor). Like Olympia's maid, the olive-skinned musician and
reserved black servant function to highlight the available difference and, by comparison, supposed `purity,' of the seemingly
white odalisque: fleshy, open, penetrable, erotic.
"The harem, as contrived through the nineteenth-century French male imaginary, functions as the perfect site for the
circulation of uninhibited desires (after all, European men viewed harems as equivalents to bordellos). As Malek Alloula has
written, `[t]he phantasmatic value of the harem is a function of this presumed absence of limitation to a sexual pleasure lived
in the mode of frenzy.' He adds that it is in the nature of pleasure `to scrutinize its object detail by detail, to take possession
of it in both a total and a fragmented fashion. It is an intoxication, a loss of oneself in the other through sight.' While the
white European male produces an `intoxication' in such images, proposing a `loss' of the white male subject in the `other
through sight,' he also, as discussed, attempts to defuse the threat posed by such an intoxication through the colored
ranking of bodies and through their hierarchical regimentation in space."

Case Study - 6 to 10 (Question Id - 19)
Read the following passage and answer the following questions.
"Although illustration by art is not in this respect a matter of chance, it is, on the other hand, not the highest way of
apprehending the spiritually concrete. The higher way, in contrast to representation by means of the sensuously concrete, is
thinking, which in a relative sense is indeed abstract, but it must be concrete, not one-sided, if it is to be true and rational.
How far a specific content has its appropriate form in sensuous artistic representation, or whether, owing to its own nature, it
essentially demands a higher, more spiritual, form, is a question of the distinction which appears at once, for example, in a
comparison between the Greek gods and God as conceived by Christian ideas. The Greek god is not abstract but
individual, closely related to the natural [human] form. The Christian God too is indeed a concrete personality, but is pure
spirituality and is to be known as spirit and in spirit. His medium of existence is therefore essentially inner knowledge and
not the external natural form through which he can be represented only imperfectly and not in the whole profundity of his
nature.
"But since art has the task of presenting the Idea to immediate perception in a sensuous shape and not in the form of
thinking and pure spirituality as such, and, since this presenting has its value and dignity in the correspondence and unity of
both sides, i.e. the Idea and its outward shape, it follows that the loftiness and excellence of art in attaining a reality
adequate to its Concept will depend on the degree of inwardness and unit in which Idea and shape appear fused into one."

A only
(B)
B only
(C)
Neither A nor B
(D)
Both A and B (Correct Answer)
Question No.8 (Question Id - 22)

(A)
The conception of the Christian God is superior to Greek gods as it involves pure spirituality
(Correct Answer)
(B)

sensuous artistic representation
(C)

Case Study - 11 to 15 (Question Id - 7)
Read the following passage and answer the following questions.
Does it really matter who owns a particular antiquity-whether it is a museum in the first world or a nation in the third world ?
Museums own antiquities (and all works of art in their collections) only in so far as they hold them in trust for the public they
serve. They are not in the collections of the art museum for the art museum. They are there for the public. And that public,
which of course in the first instance is local, 3 ultimately comprises anyone and everyone who might in some way come into
contact with the museum's collections or with knowledge informed by those collections. This is why museums preserve
antiquities.
So, does it mean that antiquities can best be preserved only in their presumed countries of origin ? We have too many
examples where that has proven not to be the case: Afghanistan and Iraq, only most recently. Critics, of course, will rightly
point to the destruction of antiquities in Berlin museums during the Second World War. But is that an argument not to allow
for the removal of antiquities from their place of origin ? Isn't it more reasonable to allow for the maximum dispersal of
antiquities, along the lines of general risk management: disperse rather than concentrate the risk ? For many decades in the
late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, archaeological finds were shared between the excavating party and the local,
host country through partage. This is how the great Ghandaran collection got to the Mus?eGuimet in Paris (shared with
Afghanistan), (and) the Assyrian collection got to the British Museum in London.
Question No.11 (Question Id - 8)
According to the author :
I. Antiquities are best preserved at the place of origin
II. Antiquities should be distributed among many countries
III. Antiquities should not remain in private collections
IV. Antiquities should be placed in national museums
(A)
Statements I and II are true and III and IV are false
(B)
Statements I and III are true and II and IV are false
(C)
Statements II and III are true and I and IV are false (Correct Answer)
(D)
Statements III and IV are true and I and II are false
Question No.12 (Question Id - 9)
Partage is :
(A)
A practice of sharing archaeological finds (Correct Answer)
(B)
A technique of archaeological excavation
(C)

(D)

Question No.13 (Question Id - 10)
"Critics, of course, will rightly point to the destruction of antiquities in Berlin museums during the Second
World War." The argument of the critics that the author is anticipating is :
(A)
The Berlin museums should have done more to safeguard their art during the second world war
(B)
The Berlin museums should not have taken antiquities from other sites
(C)
The Berlin museums had a vulnerable location
(D)
The Berlin museums are no safer than museums in Iraq or Afghanistan (Correct Answer)
Question No.14 (Question Id - 11)
Why are Afghanistan and Iraq cited to prove that ?
(A)
countries that have rich heritage should be generous in sharing it with others
(B)
countries that are underdeveloped do not have the resources to build good museums
(C)
countries that are not popular tourist sites do not get a sufficiently large audience for their artefacts
(D)
countries that are politically unstable put their heritage at risk (Correct Answer)
Question No.15 (Question Id - 12)
How does the author conceive of the 'public' for these art works ?
(A)
those who rightfully can claim it as their heritage
(B)
those who have invested effort in understanding its historical context
(C)
those who come into contact with the artefacts or with knowledge generated about them
(Correct Answer)
(D)
all of the above
Case Study - 16 to 20 (Question Id - 13)
Read the following passage and answer the following questions.
A school of art and design which had rather a short life, although was the most famous school art school of 20th century,
playing key roles in establishing the relationship between design and industrial techniques and in breaking down the
hierarchy that had previously divided "Fine" from "Applied" arts. The school was founded in 1919, in Weimar and its
founder, coined the name for the school, deriving from the word "Building House ". He had formulated three main aims for
the school: first to unite the arts so that painters, sculptors, and craftsmen could in future embark on co-operative projects,
combining all their skills harmoniously; second to raise the status of the crafts to that enjoyed by the fine arts; and thirdly, to
establish 'constant contact with the leaders of the crafts and industries of the country' (an important factor in a country that
was in economic chaos after the war). The school had an enormous influence on art education in the western world and on
visual creativity in general: 'The look of the modern environment is unthinkable without it. It left an indelible mark on
activities as varied as photography and newspaper design and achieved a language of design liberated form the historicism
of previous hundred years'. The school was created when its founder united two art schools together and made them into
one. All students took a six month preliminary course in which they studied form and colour, became familiar with materials
and after that they moved on to workshop training in the field of their choice. The school had a remarkable collection of
teachers, which included some illustrious painters. After the Second World War, the school building were left derelict, and
was faithfully restored back in 1976 for the 50th anniversary and after the reunification of Germany in 1990 it was reopened
as a design institution.
