You speak art?

I found this post today while trolling social media. I'm deeply invested into modern and contemporary art so I find to article incredibly fascinating. On a personal bias, I do really like a lot of these artists. But on a larger issue, I think it's fascinating that a group of "journalists" like Vanity Fair, which is known for exploiting females and being focused on surface issues has decided to delve into a larger issue. Even more interesting is that it reveals our cultural bias in the artists we see as prominent. However, I do really appreciate that the one female artist that we know, Kara Walker, is one that completely delineates all gender and racial boundaries in art. Check it out!
