Chapter 6: My Reflection

Women have an effect on the art world, such as how Charlotte Salomon,( a young Jewish - German female writer) who taught the world about love before the Holocaust. It makes me so proud to have women finally come to mind instead of men come to mind when it comes to independent modern artists. Women never really got the same respect that men always got during those certain centuries that you lived. However, when women started to get more respected around the world, people undertsood how highly improtant a woman is. We always would remember a man's name for any thing in history such as our Presidents, war heros and people that changed the way America was about slavery, etc. It makes you realize that women never got remembered for any thing like that. Instead they were the average housewife, taking care of the children and waiting for their darling husband to come home so that he can eat her pork roast right out of the oven. Now that I read this chapter, Women have started to make their mark on the world, the art world, one word or one stroke at a time.
Also, the fact that all of these old artist who painted masterpieces can have viewers of these documents see soemthing fresh every time. Every decade that the art world changes, these old time favorite works of art spring back to life to show today's artist the history of art. They connect with a painting that they see and that makes them connect with their work more and more. Artists that have lived many years ago that leave their legacys behind in their work let people have insight of how art once was. Modern artists today take risks in the art world which gives them the ambition to see how people will act when they see a different kind of art. For example, Pollock took the risk to show his original work of art to the world by creating art of dripping it onto the canvas. Suddenly, that sparked a new era of how the art world changed forever. The same thing that happened for women to create an new era of art forever.
