My problems with this are, why should art be easy to understand? and i'm not sure whether having the artist talk about the piece of work makes its meaning clearer (unless its a work thats meant to be spoke about). Also artists studios are generally cold, dank cells, so opening them up perpetuates the romantic myth that artists are all tormented, alienated souls that need patronizing (in both senses of the word).
