how does the image above fit within the modernist mold?
a. the bold colors represent the modernist style
b. the enlarged flowers become abstracted, and have symbolic meaning
c. both a and b
d. neither a nor b

Explanation:

Modernist art often features bold colors to evoke strong emotions and make a visual impact. Enlarging flowers to an abstracted form, as seen here, is a common Modernist technique to focus on the essence and give symbolic meaning (like Georgia O'Keeffe's works). So both aspects (bold colors and abstracted enlarged flowers with symbolic meaning) fit the Modernist mold.

Answer:

C. both A and B
