Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.

Mannerism, an art style, arose in response to the harmonious classicism and idealized
naturalism of the High Renaissance period, spearheaded by artists like Leonardo da Vinci,
Michelangelo, and Raphael in the early 16th century. While these Renaissance artists had set
standards for formal complexity and idealized beauty, Mannerist successors became obsessed
with style and technique, often overshadowing the subject matter. They prioritized intricate artistic
challenges, especially depicting nudes in complex and unnatural poses.

Mannerist art is marked by its artificiality, artiness, and a conscious pursuit of elegance and
technical prowess. Figures in Mannerist works often have elongated limbs, small heads, and
stylized facial features, with poses that appear contrived. The deep, linear perspective of the High
Renaissance was replaced with a flattened, obscured space, presenting figures as decorative
forms against an ambiguous background.

Mannerist artists continually refined their work, pushing exaggeration, contrast, and
grotesque fantasies to extremes. Elements of Mannerism appeared in some of Raphael's later
works, with Florence's Rosso Fiorentino and Jacopo da Pontormo notably breaking away from
Renaissance classicism.

This Mannerist style matured in the works of artists like Parmigianino, Rosso, and Pontormo,
and even influenced Michelangelo's The Last Judgement. Beyond Italy, Mannerism spread to
France and northern Europe through artists like Bronzino, Primaticcio, and others. The style's
influence extended to Bartholomaeus Spranger, Hendrik Goltzius, and Hans von Aachen. Emperor
Rudolf II's patronage in Prague further nurtured Mannerism, sometimes veering into the grotesque
and enigmatic.

Mannerism, thus, represents a significant departure from the High Renaissance,

characterized by its artful and often eccentric approach to form, composition, and colour.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.

The advent of street photography as a distinct genre is a relatively recent development,

emerging just over half a century ago. In the early 20th century, pioneering photographers like
Alfred Stieglitz explored urban scenes, but the limitations of technology led most photographers to
primarily test the camera's capabilities and manipulate images in darkrooms for desired effects.

The impulse to capture real-life moments gained momentum with Impressionist painters in the
1880s, setting the stage for street photography.

A pivotal moment arrived with the introduction of the Leica handheld camera in 1924. This
35-mm film camera allowed photographers to be mobile, capturing the essence of movement. Its
wide aperture required shorter exposure times, revolutionizing outdoor photography. The Leica's
rapid advancement enabled the capture of numerous sequential shots, eliminating the need for
long exposure times and blurred movements.

Photographers like André Kertész, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Ilse Bing, who primarily
worked in Europe in the 1930s, favoured the Leica, though they didn't necessarily label
themselves as street photographers. Instead, they identified as photojournalists, fashion
photographers, or experimentalists. Following World War II, the Leica remained a favourite,
particularly among New York City photographers, including Helen Levitt, Lisette Model, William
Klein, and Roy DeCarava. Street photography gained ground globally, with notable practitioners
like Manuel Álvarez Bravo and Graciela Iturbide in Mexico, Robert Doisneau in Paris, Josef
Koudelka in Czechoslovakia, and Bill Brandt in London.

The 1960s brought a new wave of street photographers, with Lee Friedlander, Garry
Winogrand, and Diane Arbus leading the way. This generation, epitomized by the 1967 "New
Documents" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, demonstrated a
documentary approach blended with personal perspectives. This recognition of photography as
artistry rather than mere record-keeping paved the path for subsequent generations of street
photographers worldwide, both with traditional cameras and, in the 21st century, with cell phones.
Street photography continues to thrive as an art form deeply embedded in contemporary culture.
