There is some truth to that. Scholarship can get side- tracked. At the Cezanne exhibit in Philadelphia a few years ago, for example, the focus was too "developmental" for a blockbuster show, and they sacrificed the quality of the paintings shown for somewhat thin surmises about his artistic biography. On the other hand, I think that connoisseurship is still preferable to the "oh wow" style of art appreciation. Only someone who has looked at a lot of paintings and done some background reading can begin to appreciate nuance. Otherwise, things are a bit of a blur, and looking at paintings is less a matter of admiration than a Rorschach test.........
