In expression-centered art, what may become more important than realistic resemblance?

Clarity of feeling, idea, and impact

The governing concept is the difference between realistic representation and expressive communication. Realistic resemblance focuses on making an image look like its visible subject, whereas expression-centered art may intentionally distort shape, colour, proportion, or detail to communicate an inner feeling or idea. Therefore, the clarity of the emotion, thought, and overall impact can matter more than exact likeness. Option A is correct because it identifies the communicative purpose of expressive art. Option B is only a physical measurement and does not explain meaning. Option C concerns a material brand, not artistic communication. Option D concerns commercial value, which cannot determine whether an artwork expresses an idea successfully.
