I only reply when you are saying outrageously wild ass things. Like this. I don't care when you are just wrong, but these theories about March being the secret, but official "women sacrifice men for... Satan or whatever" month or the one about Ukrainian female assassins sent by Luxemburg, or this... yeah, they are your greatest hits of mental shit.
Is Tracey Emin the most famous female artist? Is she the one people think of when they think of female artists? Or is it you picking one that first your idea, but is wholly unremarkable?
Because we can find a bunch of crazy, but wholly meh male artists who were fucked in one way or another.
Is selling your unmade bed better or worse than whatever the fuck Jackson Pollock was running?
I would have thought maybe Georgia O'Keefe. Those flowers and cow skulls are just BOILING OVER with hatred, don't you see it??
Lisa Frank is all about DEATH TO MEN.
I don't think it's outrageously wild. The majority of famous female artists are political activists, and deflecting with "Katie (example name) who painted this picture of a nice vase didn't show any hate" shows you didn't understand the article.
They're asking why female artists don't make the big bucks like Van Gogh or Monet, and the answer is, because they don't want to make art, they want to make a political statement. Emin is the best example, because she sold her "art" of used condoms and period stained underwear for two million dollars to someone ideologically aligned. (I hope. I really hope it is just that and not some art critic who thinks they can see more in it.)
The majority of male artists are also politically involved and such. That's what artists do, they are disconnected, hollier than thou cunts.
Big artists also made political points, don't pretend that is not a thing. Also, people like Van Gogh were incredibly unsuccessful durint their lifetime.
Art is a very fickle thing, it's a fact of life. You can't pretend that Emin's shit also wasn't an inner art circle money laundering thing, which, again, they do all the time, male or female. If you are in, you are in. If some fucker needs to launder money, art is the perfect thing for that.
