Is it true that you believe that there have been no great women painters because women are not talented enough? Are you a misogynist?
Christine Smith, by e-mail
I am a misanthrope rather than a misogynist, not good with people, far too shy, no social graces. As for women painters, I suspect that intuitively they are more intellectually honest than male painters, better judges of themselves and more inclined to retreat into deserved obscurity. Look at women who are famous for their art and you find nothing but blind immodesty.
