Gender and race has always been a critical topic in many aspects. Not just in terms of just jobs, education, and government, but also in the aspects of art. Not everybody in past history has been given the chance to display their work of art in muesum or galleries. Women and people of color has been on the other, non- noiticng end when it comes to who's art gets displayed in muesums. The article clearly stated that in 1997 at a show of contemporary art at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City included only 4 woman artists. There were 3 white women and one woman of color. The show exibit 72 artists artwork, but no artwork of men of color. Many people may think has oonly been a problem, but you can clearly see that this has recently happened. So has time go on I can truly hope that all forms of artwork that are from different types of people will be displayed or at least have a chanced to be in gallery.
Question:
-Why are women so marginlized when it comes to art?
-Why are the leaders of such museums not displaying other forms of art, yet they express that that is their main mission statement?
