Passage Summary: Still-life painting is the best way for artists to express themselves because they have total control over what they are painting and where everything goes.

Reasoning: Still-life artists have more control over their subjects and compositions than landscape or portrait artists because they choose and arrange the objects themselves.

Analysis: This stimulus sets up a proportional relationship: the more control an artist has over the arrangement of their subject matter, the better the genre facilitates self-expression. Since still-life artists have the most control, they have the greatest opportunity for self-expression. When looking for the most strongly supported statement, seek an option that reinforces this link between creative control and the ability to express one's internal reality. It is a classic LSAT move to reward the inference that 'control' is the key ingredient for 'expression' in this context.
