Question

in the above painting by salvador dali, entitled persistence of memory, which of the following objects do not occupy positive space?
a the clocks
b the ground
c the tree trunk

Explanation:

Positive space refers to the areas occupied by physical objects in an artwork, while negative space is the empty or background areas. In The Persistence of Memory, the clocks, tree trunk, and cliff are distinct, tangible objects that fill positive space. The ground is the empty background area that surrounds these objects, so it does not occupy positive space.

Answer:

b. the ground
