"there are plenty of Marias in Western art, not enough Belles"... Well, when I go to Arabs lands, India or China I do not see many Marias, let alone Belles. So why should Western art have "more Belles"? This insistence on Western art having more blacks portrayed is ludicrous and contrary to the West's real history. Before the 20th centurty there were very, very few blacks in Europe. And about 10-15% of the American population was black, although before the 18th century there was not much art in America, too. So I would say thtat there are plenty of black people in Western art.
