True, but we're all bright boys and girls here. We can see (or hear) how Turner relates to Impressionism, how Bosch relates to Surrealism, and how Beethoven relates to the Romantic composers. When I hook up an Arduino to some motors and wheels, if I say that I'm making golems, and my chems are called "sketches," well, maybe an average frosh would not know what I mean, but you can figure it out easily.
Ah, music to me tired old ears.
Right then. To go further, we'd need to look at the specifics of the case before us. Though I love Turner and much of (but by no means all) Impressionism, I simply don't know enough of the details to be of much help.
