Women cannot paint well Georg Baselitz

[portofmanteau]

Thornton is right, the art market is heavily manipulated and controlled by a few major players who use it as a tool for investment. It isn't speculative, as the market is small enough that major purchases/the patronization of a single collector is itself enough to change the market. So in terms of the historical consensus of greatness, the commercial art market has a poor predictive record. “As always, the market is right.” is an incredibly stupid thing to say - you only need one example to prove him wrong, and there are many. I'll throw out the richest living artist, Damien Hirst, as an easy one.

Women have a slightly higher median IQ than men, but a smaller standard deviation. That in itself would explain why you'll find more women proficient in fields like this, but fewer lauded as historical geniuses.

The female surrealists were great - Remedios Varo, Dorothea Tanning, Leonora Carrington, Kahlo.

I also think there is more excellent male sculptors. This same part of the brain used here, the visual spacial part is why most men are better drivers as well on a more off tangent note.

As an Artist, it pains me to see women tarnish the canvas with their simplistic, cliche, paintings.

I'm currently working on my masterpiece.

It's going to be better than that melted clock painting.

Is there anything that women generally do as well as men?
