  Cliff Eyland is an art-world Imp of the Perverse. In Edgar Allen Poe’s formulation, the imp was “an innate and primitive principle of human action, a paradoxical something, which we may call perverseness.” The fit is a good one, as long as you understand that the term primitive has nothing to do with a lack of sophistication.
