    The painting above by Juan Gris displays  his use of radial balance, because:

    • The painting contains items that make the painting heavy on one side, while light on the other.

    • The painting contains shapes that have their edges aligned with diagonals which appear to move away from a central axis point, like spokes on a bicycle wheel.

    • The painting is asymmetrical which moves the eye around the composition again and again.

    • The painting is very symmetrical and has no real sense of radial balance.

    • A. & d. are true statements.

    Correct Answer
    A. The painting contains shapes that have their edges aligned with diagonals which appear to move away from a central axis point, like spokes on a bicycle wheel.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the painting contains shapes that have their edges aligned with diagonals which appear to move away from a central axis point, like spokes on a bicycle wheel. This explanation highlights the use of radial balance in the painting, as the alignment of the shapes creates a sense of movement and balance around a central point. The other options, such as the painting being heavy on one side or being symmetrical, do not accurately describe the use of radial balance in the painting.
