Question

at the waters edge
by paul cézanne
courtesy national gallery of art,
washington
this painting is a good example of
(1 point)
○ creative use of brushstroke for textures.
○ usage of warm colors for mood.
○ asymmetrical balance for unity.
○ line for creation of emphasis.

Explanation:

To determine the correct option, we analyze each choice:

• "Usage of warm colors for mood": The painting uses cool, muted tones (greens, grays), not warm colors, so this is incorrect.
• "Asymmetrical balance for unity": The composition doesn't strongly rely on asymmetrical balance for unity, and the brushstrokes are more prominent for texture.
• "Line for creation of emphasis": The painting's emphasis isn't created by lines; it's more about texture from brushstrokes.
• "Creative use of brushstroke for textures": Cézanne's work often features distinct, textured brushstrokes, and this painting's appearance (with varied, expressive brushwork) supports this.

Answer:

A. creative use of brushstroke for textures
