You are trying to force an assumption of prejudice . Very righteous and strange. Plenty of artists of every ethnicity show their work in galleries devoted to art. You have such a superficial view of the artworld. Have you ever done anything or thought about anything without narrowing and simplifying everything through a backward telescope of bias? wc

If any do -- that will be the first time it's happened, and I will be happy to record that exciting event. The next step.... would be to show some of those artists in galleries other than those devoted to ethnicity. As if they were "art" --- instead of "American Indian art".

Maybe you haven't been to them. The St Louis Art Museum put on a huge show of Osage tribal art a few years ago. And what about the new Smithsonian Museum devoted to American Native art? The Art Institute of Chicago is about to open a huge new exhibition area for art of the Americas. ____________________________________________________________ Diet Help Cheap Diet Help Tips.
