Her argument makes my fists itchy: - Nationalists only use marble sculptures because they're white - Anyone with a job studying the past has a job to oppose them because they're bad - So we should point out that they actually had lots of colours (that'll stop them being racist) Meanwhile the sculptures were still almost all glorifying the achievements of a race, no matter how they were painted and her vandalism of history is only going to make people angrier.

I can understand the argument for some of the earlier periods of greek art which were very abstract, but the later periods where they were putting huge effort into making their works as realistic as possible... why wouldn't the paintwork also be realistic? We have surviving murals, portraits and mosaics which used realistic colour.

I don't think that's true. If you look back over her political activism during her youth she was always a cultural marxist, and she rose in a field famous for culling anyone with even moderate left-wing opinions or even apolitical stance. It's possible she has some genuinely good academic work but she's not an innocent dupe in all of this.

Oh yep. Anything western governments touch rapidly turns into cliques of interest groups trading rightthink for access to plundered money.
