Why is meaningful expression considered better than purposeless decoration in art?

क्योंकि अर्थपूर्ण अभिव्यक्ति भाव और विचार पहुंचाती है

Meaningful expression is valued because an artwork can communicate an idea, feeling, experience, question, or social observation to the viewer. Its colours, forms, lines, symbols, and arrangement work together to create a message or response. Decoration may add beauty, rhythm, or visual pleasure, and it is not automatically wrong; however, decoration without any intended meaning may remain only surface appeal. Thus option A is correct because meaningful expression joins visual quality with thought or emotion. Option B is too extreme, since decoration can be useful. Option C is false because expressive art can also be beautiful, and option D contradicts the communicative purpose that many artworks have. The distinction is between decoration alone and beauty supported by meaning.
