Re: Well, yeah...

The point, really, is that your example is an instance not so much of an artist being didactic but of the film being didactic and doing so with clumsy, transparent, dramatic exposition to boot. I don't imagine that Pollock needed to be told what cubism was, so clearly at that moment we have a character speaking past his interlocutor to the audience, thus destroying the suspension of disbelief, etc., etc. That's just bad writing.
