For The Continuing Presence of the Past: Anish Kapoor’s Melancholia: Melancholia asserts its presence in Dürer’s Adam and Eve as well. How might the circle and the square be compared to Adam and Eve?

What will be an ideal response?

In Adam and Eve, Du?rer creates contrasts embodied in the characters of Adam and Eve, with Adam connected to knowledge and Eve to physical and forbidden concerns. The artist emphasizes the contrast through his use of dark and light in the light bodies of Adam and Eve and the darkness of nature, a metaphor for the contrast between melancholy and inspiration, the broader subject of his engraving Adam and Eve (Revel Asset: Closer Look: Adam and Eve). Likewise, in Melancholia, Kapoor explores the contrasts of square/circle and airy/industrial in the installation space.
