Answer

Brief Explanations:

The work is I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold by Charles Demuth. Variety is seen in the contrasting shapes, colors (red, gold, dark tones, blue accents), and repeated but varied "5" elements. Harmony unites these varied elements: the warm red/gold palette ties the composition together, and the arrangement of shapes creates a cohesive, unified visual that feels intentional despite its varied components. The piece lacks formal symmetry, clear rhythmic repetition, or a focus on proportional balance as its core principles.

Answer:

d. variety and harmony
