A Balance of Power!

As a mature male, I found Griselda Polock's observations reach far beyond the medium of art production alone. It enters on the core of basic human relations in an ever-changining materialistic environment dominated by a male ethos.A hidden male agenda lies quietly in waiting to be explored. The concept of "modern" is amplified to the point of no return; leaving the time-worn question on the reconciliation between the sexes open to further discussion.
