Digital BW, The Print

I think you certainly do talk more about the details that you mention at least verbally or in 
a longer Artist Description of their work.  But, A gallery or a Museum does not want to 
have a long paragraph right under the title of the work and Artist Name.  Something nice, 
short and descriptive will always be required.  Hence the delima.
