Answer to Question 1

A
Contrapposto, developed by ancient Greeks, sets the body in a gentle S-shaped curve through a play of opposites. You can see such balance in ancient Greek works.

Answer to Question 2

D
Minimalism developed from a broad tendency during the 1960s and '70s toward simple, primary forms. Minimalist artists believed that art should offer a pure and honest aesthetic experience instead of trying to influence people through images. They favored materials associated more with industry or construction than with art.
