Nathan,

The five pages may not be the result of "failure to communicate" by the artist as much as the wish by many to beat the messenger when you don't like the message. Which has been one constant in art history. I understand quite a stir took place when artist first dared to mix colors with oil, use dramatic light and darks (Rembrandt), and were rejected by the official art communities when they dabbled in nonsence called "Impressionism".

The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad. -Salvador
Dali, painter (1904-1989)
