I can think of so many exceptions to this off the top of my head - Miro,
Chagall, Klee etc and so on - it's simply not true.
As Joe said, there's no simple binary. Re: political correctness: one of
the earliest plays by my husband, Daniel Keene, was a series of
monologues by women called The Snake Pit. One woman's group erroneously
thought a play which so clearly dramatised and imagined "woman's" voice
could not have been written by a man - clearly the play was written by
Danielle - and did a reading from which the writer was excluded because
of his sex, to I might add his fury.
