That is something that I agree with you about, to an extent. There are a number of people who use and abuse their academic power at the expenses of some good artists out there. For all I know, Harriet Riches could be wrong in judging a lot of work that gets produced, but for every Riches there is a Sewell who tries to put everything into a clear context, as art does have a context in any society, like it or not.
