I agree that too much art commentary is made without actually seeing the goddam artwork. As an art student I was guilty of this. I remember being very contemptuous of Edward Kienholz's work. These installation pieces looked very cheesy in photos, but when I saw one in real life (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beanery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beanery) I was blown away.
