The New York Times > Arts > Art & Design > Trendy Artists Pick Up an Old-Fashioned Habit: "In the market where these contemporary artists ply their trade, the age-old discipline of drawing human figures is considered a rather fuddy-duddy exercise. Although figurative painting and drawing has always maintained some presence, in recent years rumors of its demise were rampant, as video, installation, and conceptual art rose to the ascendant." wrote Kino.

The art world seems to be a safe place to make remarks that discriminate and put down people for what they believe in. The lack of support for human art is what keeps it from being seen.
