First split: "Such as" vs "like",
"realistic contrasts of shadow and light" is mentioned as an example, not to compare. "like" is incorrect in B,D.
Second split: "eschewed" vs "focused on eschewing"
"eschewed" is concise, while "focused on eschewing" is redundant. Besides, the intended meaning is that Thomas focused on other elements, not focused on neglecting popular styles. C,D,E out

SUCH AS vs LIKE:
LIKE should never be used to introduce examples. So B & D are out.
Meaning Issue
The sentence means that Thomas eschewed popular styles and instead focused on other elements.
C & E distort the meaning by stating Focussed On Eschewing.
Therefore A is my choice for the correct answer.
