People can debate the aesthetic merits of these overwrought, disquieting, sometimes gruesome works of art, but no one can dispute their creators' mastery of the paintbrush as a blunt instrument.

(A) but no one can dispute their creators' mastery of the paintbrush as a blunt instrument.
(B) but none can dispute their creators' mastery of the paintbrush as a blunt instrument.
(C) but not a one can dispute their creators' mastery of the paintbrush as a blunt instrument.
(D) but no person can dispute their creators' mastery of the paintbrush as a blunt instrument.
(E) but none can dispute to their creators' mastery of the paintbrush as a blunt instrument.

Look weird, the same problem with all non OG's, they focus more on wierd aspect of testthan usual one, and itis obvious astheyhavetoshow they are the toughest,masculine thoughts yeah :(

Going by whatever i can connectit is a test of changein persone, people may think x, but noone can think y looks/sound/taste better than, people may, none can.

SO A IMO. as expect a/b all other choices contains obvious flaws.
Charged up again to beat the beast :)

'no one' refers to no person where as none refers to 'not one'. In this case A is correct :
No person can dispute their creator's mastery.....
