Art is it's own language, it doesn't translate well into English.
You can talk about an artist, his tools and techniques, you can talk about the historical context in which a work is first received, and you can track how the work has influenced future generations of artists, these are all things that the article touches upon. But to try and explain why a particular work is great is a fools errand. It's there in the work. Just look at it. It explains itself.
