Explanation:

The sentence indicates that those who believe art should follow strict rules or tradition were unimpressed. This implies that "avant - garde" art goes against strict rules/tradition. "Experimental" art often breaks from traditional norms, while "classical" (B) adheres to tradition. "Colorful" (A) and "emotionless" (D) don't relate to the contrast with rule - following/traditional art as strongly as "experimental".
