What is the most correct relation between tradition and originality in art?

An artist can learn from tradition and express it in a new form

The governing concept is that originality does not require complete separation from the past. Traditions provide artists with forms, techniques, stories, symbols, materials, and ways of seeing that can be studied, questioned, adapted, or transformed. A new artwork may preserve one traditional feature while changing its scale, subject, medium, or purpose for a contemporary audience. Option B is correct because it understands originality as informed re-creation rather than simple rejection. Option A uses the absolute word “always,” and C wrongly equates originality with ignorance. Option D dismisses the cultural and artistic value of inherited practices. Learning from tradition can therefore become the foundation for innovation.
