They remain none the wiser though Enoch has very little difficulty interpreting his art (paintings of Winesburg). Despite his strong desire for them to see exactly what it is he has painted. Something that is noticeable from the time he allowed some fellow artists into his room. There is also a sense that Enoch is not understood.
