Why can viewers interpret expressive art differently?

Because viewers make meaning through their own experience and sensitivity

The governing concept is that artistic meaning is shaped through interaction between the artwork and the viewer. An expressive image may contain colours, gestures, symbols, or forms, but viewers connect these details with their own memories, cultural background, emotions, and knowledge. Therefore, two people may notice the same visual evidence yet form different interpretations. Option A is correct because it recognises the active and subjective role of the viewer. Option B is false because expressive art does use visual elements; C is false because people have different experiences; and D is too absolute because artists often provide meaningful cues. Interpretation should still be supported by what is visible in the artwork.
