Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. The unnatural, garish colors set up a stereotype (not the colors of a real person) but also connect to fine art (especially Pop art), elevating her status to icon.
2. The flat blocks of color and simplified lines reduce her to a cartoon representation but also suggest a mask that conceals another identity, the real one beneath.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. The curvy, fleshy and weighted forms of the nymphs contrast to the upright and slender figure of Marie, who conforms to a Classical convention.
2. The nymphs' placement in the composition, close to the picture plane, enlarges and emphasizes their figures in contrast to the smaller figure of Marie, reduced by placement in the middle distance.
3. The nymphs' nudity, fully revealing their bodies, draws the viewer's immediate attention to their figures rather than the fully sheathed and covered body of Marie, thus setting the standard for female beauty despite the image type represented by Marie.
