I know. Itās difficult to get past the self evident racism of the painting. The Fitzwilliam Museum in England has told us that paintings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are āleaving very little room for representations of people of colour.ā
And obviously, even the past must be made āinclusive and representative.ā Which seems to mean that we must all pretend that UKās population and cultural assumptions have always looked like those of, say, twenty-first century London.
Now show me a picture taken yesterday in Uganda or SE Asia. Wow, all blacks and Asians! Is it because of racism? No, thatās the population in 2024 of those regions.
