Asymmetrically Balanced

This piece is called July fourth teen by Childe Hassam. He’s well known for his asymmetrically balanced art. Which is off center or created with an odd or mismatch number of disparate elements. In this art it is not balanced in the middle it’s balanced to the left. You have a crowd of people in the street to the left of the line, while the right side is all the building. He makes the streets feel exposed while the buildings are much heavier than the left portion. If you look at the top of the page it’s emptier with the sky while the bottom is crowded with people. He shows great asymmetrically balance throughout this painting.
