excerpt from Art and the HandicraftsmanBy Oscar WildePeople often talk as if there was an opposition between what is beautiful and what is useful. There is no opposition to beauty except ugliness. All things are either beautiful or ugly. Utility will always be on the side of the beautiful thing, because beautiful decoration is always an expression of the use you put a thing to and the value placed on it.No workman will beautifully decorate bad work, nor can you possibly get good handicraftsmen or workmen without having beautiful designs. You should be quite sure of that. If you have poor and worthless designs in any craft or trade, you will get poor and worthless workmen only. However, the minute you have noble and beautiful designs, then you get men of power and intellect and feeling to work for you. By having good designs, you will have workmen who work not merely with their hands but with their hearts and heads, too.Shoppers can often find handcrafted, painted dishware at a market..That the beauty of life is unimportant, I suppose few people would try to argue. And yet most civilized people act as if beauty were insignificant. In doing so, they wrong both themselves and those that are to come after them. For the beauty of art is no mere accident of human life which people can take or leave. It is an absolute necessity of life if we are meant to live as nature meant us—that is, unless we are content to be less than men.19Select the correct answer.Which statement best expresses how the author connects art and craftsmanship in this text?
