Warhol uses implied lines to direct viewers’ eyes around the artwork. The
implied lines are the strands of Venus’s hair that direct viewers’ eyes to the right bottom,
middle, and top because the strands are going in each of these directions. One bundle of
hair goes down to the bottom of the piece on the left side close to her face. This bundle
of hair brings some direction to the left side, but not a lot because the left side is mostly
empty. However, this emptiness is balanced asymmetrically by Venus’s gaze toward the
bottom left corner and the light color used in the empty space. The light color of the
empty space is visually light; therefore, it does not have as much weight as the darker,
warmer colors of Venus’s face and hair. This visual lightness along with Venus’ gaze is
strong enough to balance the multitude of hair and part of a flower on the right side.
