The fact is art is a statement. If you are any kind of artist, you put yourself into what you create and reflect yourself. It's probably harder to hide in a creative endeavor. You can dress a caveman up in a suit and he could probably function without notice in a modern society, but as soon as that same caveman tried to create a piece of art, his prehistoric notions would reveal themselves....such as the fact that he thinks of women as chattel instead of understanding the radical notion that women are human, and that women come in all kinds of shapes and forms and levels of intellects, just like men, and that they are not objects but creative, intellectual, sensual, living, breathing human beings...just like the guys. And, you know, people are more interesting in their variety and differences than a single stereotype repeated over and over again...both as artists and as subjects of art. I think the revelation of self artistically is rather an exciting risk...and I don't mean the bare body parts kind of excitement but rather the showing that we are more than a lump of talking cells. Men and women both have a lot to say to each other if we bothered to move past the cliches. And, fortunately, some people are willing to do that.
