While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
• Hyde Park is a 1931 color linocut print by Canadian artist Sybil Andrews.
• It depicts a tranquil, everyday scene (a spring day in a city park).
• Amanzi Amthatha ("The cold water takes him") is a 2001 black-and-white linocut print by South African artist Nomathemba Tana.
• It features a scene with an explicitly political point of view (a Xhosa warrior fighting British colonial rule).
• Relief printing is a technique in which an image is carved onto a printing block, covered in ink or paint, and stamped onto paper.
• Lino cutting is a type of relief printing that uses linoleum tile as the printing block.
The student wants to contrast the subject matter of the two prints. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
The print by Tana is a black-and-white linocut; by contrast, Andrews's is a relief print.
A
Tana's print expresses an explicitly political point of view, while Andrews's depicts a tranquil, everyday scene.
B
Andrews made Hyde Park in 1931, while Tana made Amanzi Amthatha ("The cold water takes him") later, in 2001.
C
The scenes depicted in both works were first carved onto a printing block, then stamped onto paper; however, one work is a linocut, while the other is a relief print.
D
