I believe that race and gender have little to nothing to do with an art work. Paintings don't say "Oh i was painted by a black female" or "Hey my creator isn't white". If paintings were judged by race and/or gender many painters would not contribute to todays art. Jacob Lawrence is a prime example of a famous african-american artist who published several books before his death in october of 2000. Do you think that the criticism against african-american art can be traced back to the actual content of most african-american art?
Art obviously reflects the artists social standing in life, so therefore should the artworks be judged separately due to design and craftsmanship?
