Artists don't need to story tell?

I read this article in the last couple of days that was very strongly saying that Artists are not writers or poets and that their art tells the story and they do not need to.
Also they said that most Artists cannot tell their story of their Art because Artists are not wired that way.
Now at first I wanted to write back a terse response but I thought I will wait and think about what they were saying.
Yes, I agree that Artists who do not wish to story tell their Art, should not not story tell their Art.
There I said it, some will say contradicting myself.
Personally, I think that it is a lame excuse for being lazy.
You see in every area of our lives we story tell.
Have you ever sat down with a group of Artists and listened to the tall stories that they all tell?
Yet when it comes to their Art they are incapable of saying anything.
I find it all a little perplexing?
To those Artists who do not want to story tell, I say don't!
But please do not even put a title on the painting, because if you honestly believe that your Art tells its own story, then let it tell the title also?
I run Galleries and the majority of people who buy paintings always ask, “ What is this painting all about?”
People like to know what the Artist was thinking, why the Artist painted this way, lots of questions and the Artist who can best story tell their paintings sells well.
I am not asking Artists to write novels about their paintings, just a few lines that best describes the “why” of their paintings.
In the Gallery it always saddens me when a good Artist has a show and nothing sells, nice person, hard worker, sincere Artist but when asked what their paintings are about they have no answer and answer questions with a yes or no.
Gallery staff trying to sell the paintings are at a disadvantage if the Artist has not told them what their paintings are all about.
Please think about this, even when Artists buy paint they want to know all about it and its qualities good and bad. What would they do if they walked into an art supplies store and ask the assistant about a certain paint and the assistant responded, “ Its paint, you paint with it, what more is there to know? I sell paint I don't story tell the paint?”
Artists with a little effort and using that wonderful creative talent that you have it would not be hard to put down a few lines about each painting you do.
Also if you are keeping a journal then most of what you need is already written down. I would not go on about this subject if it was not important.
Outside of you artistic abilities, painting, drawing and being creative I believe that this one of the three most import things an Artist must do.
Learn to sell.
Learn to market.
Learn to story tell.
All of this information is available for free at the University of You Tube.
Artists, story tell your Art, you are helping yourself sell.
I hope this has been a help to some, let me know what are your thoughts on the subject.
