Why is relying only on the artist's biography limited in studying expression?

Because visual elements, context, and viewer response also create meaning

The governing concept is balanced art interpretation. An artist's biography can provide useful historical or personal context, but it cannot replace close observation of the artwork. The viewer should examine colour, line, shape, space, material, composition, symbols, subject, cultural setting, and the responses produced by the work. These features may support, complicate, or even challenge a biographical explanation. Option A is correct because meaning is produced through visual evidence, context, and audience engagement together. B is wrong because biographies are not always false; C is too extreme because life may influence art; D is wrong because visual analysis requires attention to the work itself.
