So many blacks try the white gallery scene again and again, and development a deep resentment for what they perceive to be rich white people who may be interested in their work but who wouldn't want to talk with them, or associate with them in their neighborhoods. They begin to think those art buyers are their enemies. They resent working in that world. It's very tough. There's a fourth factor, and that's black iconography.
Someone has to articulate that iconography.
Most people look at art with their ears. The consciousness has to be articulated. What's left for them is hope. They hope that the black community will sooner or later develop its own critics. And that their art will become a sort of criticism.
