Compare and contrast the use of symmetry in Damien Hirst’s Posterity—The Holy Place and Titian’s Noli Me Tangere.
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Damien Hirst creates symmetrical balance by using small pieces of glass to form butterflies.
2. The composition demonstrates balance and structure because of the corresponding shapes, sizes, and placement of the butterflies at every level.
3. Titian’s Noli Me Tangere is an example of asymmetrical balance because the standing figure of Christ dominates the left half of the composition.
4. This is emphasized by the triangular shape formed by Christ, a tree, and Mary as well as the distant village in the top right corner.
