I saw a perfect example of this at the Museum of Natural History in NY not too long ago.
They had wonderful art exhibits from the Renaissance. Fantastic gilded tapestries (dating from the 1200s, I think), paintings, etc etc etc. Just one marvel after another.
Then, I went to the "African Collection". A "special African Art Exhibit" on loan from somewhere or other. Apparently, it was supposed to be a pretty big deal....
It wasn't. It consisted of a bunch of crudely dyed wooden masks and a talisman that was some feathers stuck on a stick.
'Tis un-PC for me to notice such things, but I just can't equate Michelangelo to something that looks like a pre-school art project gone wrong.
Of course, you know that the advancement of non-white cultures was suppressed by the imperialism and oppression of the cultures dominated by white men...
