What contribution can a title make in expression-based art?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It can guide the viewer's meaning without closing all interpretation
A title is part of the communicative context of an artwork. It can draw attention to a theme, suggest an emotional direction, identify a memory, or encourage the viewer to connect visual details in a particular way. However, a title normally does not provide every detail or force one mechanically fixed interpretation; the composition, colour, line, shape, and the viewer's response still matter. Option A is correct because it describes a title as a helpful cue that guides meaning while preserving room for interpretation. B is an absolute and false claim, C wrongly dismisses visual language, and D confuses a title with the artist's name.
