The statement that is not true is:
The negative space is difficult to recognize and is unhelpful in painting the object.
In art, recognizing negative space is often helpful for artists as it can guide composition and enhance the portrayal of the positive space (the main subject, in this case, the pears). Therefore, this statement does not accurately reflect the role of negative space in painting.
