The method of reproducing paintings designed to restore the richness of a painting’s original colors will result in reproductions that look less like the original painting looks now than those produced by older methods. To reproduction experts, a reproduction that looks less like the original painting looks now, regardless of its own aesthetic value, is an inferior reproduction. Reproduction experts are the only accepted evaluators of the quality of a reproduction.
If the statements above are true, which of the following conclusions could be most properly drawn?
a) The best judges of the quality of the reproductions are the purchasers of such reproductions.
b) Reproduction experts oversee the reproduction of paintings.
c) The highest quality reproductions are made close to the time of the original painting.
d) It is not currently possible for a reproduction to restore a painting’s original color and be considered high-quality by the accepted evaluators.
e) The new method can be used to produce reproductions considered high-quality by everyone except reproduction experts.
