The sculptural legacy that the new United States inherited from its colonial predecessors was far from a rich
one, and in fact, in 1776 sculpture as an art form was still in the hand of artisans and craftspeople. Stone carvers
engraved their motifs of skulls and crossbones and other religious icons of death into the gray slabs that we still see

standing today in old burial grounds. Some skilled craftspeople made intricately carved wooden ornamentations for
furniture or architectural decorations, while others carved wooden shop signs and ships' figureheads. Although
they often achieved expression and formal excellence in their generally primitive style, they remained artisans
skilled in the craft of carving and constituted a group distinct from what we normally think of as "sculptors" in
today's use of the word.
On the rare occasion when a fine piece of sculpture was desired, Americans turned to foreign sculptors, as in
the 1770's when the cities of New York and Charleston, South Carolina, commissioned the Englishman Joseph
Wilton to make marble statues of William Pitt. Wilton also made a lead equestrian image of King George III that
was created in New York in 1770 and torn down by zealous patriots six years later. A few marble memorials with
carved busts, urns, or other decorations were produced in England and brought to the colonies to be set in the walls
of churches - as in King's Chapel in Boston. But sculpture as a high art, practiced by artists who knew both the
artistic theory of their RenaissanceBaroque-Rococo predecessors and the various technical procedures of modeling,
casting, and carving rich three-dimensional forms, was not known among Americans in 1776. Indeed, for many
years thereafter, the United States had two groups from which to choose - either the local craftspeople or the
imported talent of European sculptors.
The eighteenth century was not one in which powered sculptural conceptions were developed. Add to this the
timidity with which unschooled artisans originally trained as stonemasons, carpenters, or cabinetmakers - attacked
the medium from which they sculpture made in the United States in the late eighteenth century.

Question 36: What is the main idea of the passage?

A. There was a great demand for the work of eighteenth-century artisans.
B. American sculptors were hampered by a lack of tools and materials.
C. Skilled sculptors did not exist in the US in the 1770’s.
D. Many foreign sculptors worked in the US after 1776.
Question 37: It is stated in the first paragraph that the sculptural legacy that the new United States had from
colonial times was ______.
A. not great B. plentiful C. very rich D. not countable
Question 38: The phrase “turned to” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. castigated B. censored C. consulted D. hired
Question 39: The work of which of the following could be seen in burial ground?
A. stone carves B. carpenters C. cabinetmakers D. European sculptors
Question 40: The word “they” in the passage refers to ______.
A. wooden ornamentations B. skilled craftspeople
C. architectural decorations D. wooden shop signs
Question 41: The word "commissioned" in paragraph 2 refers to _________.
A. enabled B. allowed C. conferred D. empowered

B. Such sculpture was as prestigious as those made locally.
C. Such sculpture was not available in the US.
D. The materials found abroad were superior.
