A chimp called Congo outsold legendary artist Andy Warhol at an auction in London. A group of three of the ape’s paintings went for more than $25,000. Ruby the elephant sold more than $100,000 worth of her paintings. The proceeds went to the Phoenix Zoo, where she lived.
Congo and Ruby were just two stars in a line of animal artists that continue to cash in on the art world’s hunger for fresh work. Some skeptics believe animal artists get too much help from their trainers, who provide supplies and perhaps make artistic choices. But many respected critics have been quick to come to the animal artists’ defense.
“After examining the artwork of different chimpanzees at a gallery in London, I can tell you that at least some of these animals possess a style,” says Benjamin Aaronson, art critic for the national magazine Art! “The colors they select and the strokes they apply show a definite flair and feeling.”
“All that praise hasn’t gone to the animals’ heads,” says zookeeper Katie Harper. “My apes love to paint, but they don’t pay attention to reviews from their human audience,” she observes. “And if it came to choosing between a paintbrush and a banana, there would be no contest!”

Which sentence in this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich suggests that ivan ilyich aspired to be part of the elite in society from a young age? a. ivan ilyich was le phenix de la famille as people said. he was neither as cold and formal as his elder brother nor as wild as the younger, but was a happy mean between them—an intelligent polished, lively and agreeable man. b. even when he was at the school of law he was just what he remained for the rest of his life: a capable, cheerful, good-natured, and sociable man, though strict in the fulfillment of what he considered to be his duty: and he considered his duty to be what was so considered by those in authority. c.neither as a boy nor as a man was he a toady, but from early youth was by nature attracted to people of high station as a fly is drawn to the light, assimilating their ways and views of life and establishing friendly relations with them. d.all the enthusiasms of childhood and youth passed without leaving much trace on him; he succumbed to sensuality, to vanity, and latterly among the highest classes to liberalism, but always within limits which his instinct unfailingly indicated to him as correct. e.at school he had done things which had formerly seemed to him very horrid and made him feel disgusted with himself when he did them;
