5. An artist who explored Spanish cultural themes, Julio Gonzalez was world renowned for his art.
(A) An artist who explored Spanish cultural themes, Julio Gonzalez was world renowned for his
- CORRECT
(B) Julio Gonzalez is an artist whose art explores world renowned Spanish cultural themes
-Both options B & E introduces the same error. It's not the ART that explored Spanish themes but the Artist himself. Thus INCORRECT. One can argue that art can mimic the Spanish themes (In Metaphorical sense) but in that case we need to a different word (barring EXPLORE) to avoid ambiguity
(C) Artist Julio Gonzalez has explored Spanish cultural themes, the art of whom is world renowned
-Placement of highlighted portion is Awkward as it introduces confusion & GMAT prefers simplicity. Thus INCORRECT
(D) An artist who has explored Spanish cultural themes, Julio Gonzalez’ art is world renowned.
- ART is not an artist (Misplace modifier error). Thus INCORRECT
(E) Julio Gonzalez is a world-renowned artist whose art explored Spanish cultural themes
It's not the ART that explored Spanish themes but the Artist himself. Thus INCORRECT

Hey Gmat800Champ and Talayva ,
I am happy to help
Here are the answers:
1. Tense: The artist is renowned even in today's context , so the correct tense should be 'is' and not was. --> How do you know he is renowned today? Maybe something bad happened later and then he was no longer renowned. If someone is renowned at a particular time, that doesn't mean he would be renowned ever. Hence, tense change is not allowed here.
2. Both 'renowned for his art' and 'world-renowned artist' convey the same meaning . The official explanation , however, runs counter to this logic. --> No they donot convey the same meaning. World Renowned for his art conveys the reason for why he was world renowned. This means there is a big word "world-renowned" and why did he get this word was his art. But "world-renowned artist" conveys that there are a couple of "world-renowned" categories and he got one of those categories. This is change in meaning again.
3. Art explored Spanish themes sound logically correct . --> "Sounding correct" is NEVER a reason to select or reject any answer choice. As per the meaning of the sentence, he explored something and thus became world-renowned artist but option E is saying He was an artist and his art is doing something. Do you see the change in meaning?
Does that make sense?
