WTF has gender diversity got to do with cubism, or anything? Just let people be people, without demands. If gender is so important, why isn't this about female cubists? Double standards?
why so many modern art collectors have the paintings in the midst of ancient looking furniture and interiors? why the modern artists themselves choose to live in old fashioned houses? I really cannot understand such lack of coherence…
