It's very odd what happens in a world without children's voices.

I'm not sure Danny Huston's character is an art preservationist. In the book, the character who most closely corresponds to that role is the Warden of England -- in effect, a dictator ruling over the UK. I don't think the film character is exactly that, but he seemed to be definitely a member of the ruling class, and his display of artwork seemed to be as much a sign of cultural plunder.

I haven't read the book (which the film apparently deviates from enormously), so since it wasn't exactly clear who Huston's character was, I defined him in terms of what he did, even if he did appear to be preserving the art mostly for his own benefit.
