Which statement best shows the relation between expression and communication in art?

Art conveys feelings and ideas to the viewer through visual language

The governing concept is that artistic expression becomes communication when feelings, ideas, or experiences are shaped into visual signs that a viewer can perceive and interpret. Lines, colours, shapes, textures, symbols, scale, and composition can all carry meaning, so words are not required for every artistic message. Therefore, option A correctly connects the artist’s expressive act with the viewer’s reception of visual language. Option B wrongly limits art to verbal language. Option C is too absolute: viewers may interpret a work differently from the artist, but interpretation is still part of communication. Option D reduces art to realistic copying and ignores abstract, symbolic, emotional, and imaginative expression.
