![]() What passed for art education in high school taught me that African Tribal art was primitive and that Cubism was sophisticated. ![]() ![]() I don’t have to understand it, at least right away. As for me, I like art that challenges me, engages me and draws me in. Do we equate great artists with famous artists or vice versa? And what makes a piece of art famous anyway? There’s a great New Yorker cartoon captioned, I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like. I am sure there are plenty of great women artists we’ve never heard of. Instead, we ask “Who are the most famous women artists of all time?” That’s not the same thing as asking who are the greatest, or best women artists of all time. That only means one thing to me: That it’s less socially acceptable to ask the question than it used to be. I hear the question, “Why are there no great female artists?” less these days than I used to. ![]()
