Hi Eugene et al.:

Eugene, thank you for sending the link to this intriguing article.  (I am
eager to read other reactions.)


Another reaction:

Remembering from my distant past as a working artist, one of our big gripes was museum interpretation.  Our collective view was that we created art, art historians and museums attached baggage to it.  I think we universally resented the "artist's statement" that we occasionally were called upon to create.    So I'd think that artists would find the lack of "educational" devises refreshing.
