> shows a lack of appreciation for context; which is what art is about
Art is not about context. I'd argue the contrary - Art that needs context is usually crap. You see it a lot in the form of "This painting is special because the painter was ...".
From a psychological perspective I agree, there is a lot of interesting stuff to unpack. But that doesn't make it good art.
