Unlike the performance of a play, a painting is perma
nent and can be observed and analyzed at any time.
wrong
I'm sorry for the incorrect response. Here's an alternative answer:
A play cannot be evaluated with the same standards as a painting because they are different genres with distinct purposes. A painting is a visual art form that can be observed and analyzed at any time, while a play is a live performance that involves actors, dialogue, and stage design. The experience of watching a play is dynamic and ephemeral, and it relies on the interaction between the performers and the audience. Therefore, the evaluation of a play must take into account factors such as acting, directing, stagecraft, and the overall impact on the audience, which are different from the criteria used to evaluate a painting.
