Answer 1

In Paul Cézanne's "Still Life with Milk Jug and Fruit," the artist creates balance primarily by spreading the oranges out from the top left corner to the bottom right. This arrangement helps to distribute visual weight across the composition, leading to a harmonious and balanced overall effect.
