Question 2 of 10 Which of these ancient civilizations created "art for art's sake"? A. Roman B. Egyptian C. Greek D. Minoan

The concept of "art for art's sake" is often associated with the ancient Greek civilization. This philosophy suggests that the intrinsic value of art is more important than its functional or utilitarian purpose. The ancient Greeks placed a high value on the aesthetic and intellectual aspects of art, and they believed that art should be created primarily for its own sake, rather than for any practical or utilitarian purpose. This is in contrast to other ancient civilizations, such as the Romans or Egyptians, who often created art with a specific practical purpose, such as architecture for public buildings or monumental sculptures for religious or political purposes. The Minoans, while known for their art, did not have the same philosophical approach to art as the Greeks. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Greek.
