Black men only know how to draw Black Women nude. Black Men can only draw us in a way that’s degrading and hypersexualized.

Happens a lot in black artist FB groups, and sometimes it reeks of hoteps

RIGHT!!!! I swear I'm not the only one who notices that.

A lot of black male artists draw black women in the most stereotypical overly sexualized way. The art is so weird to look at

You must excuse me, but what black male artists are you all talking about? I went to art school and there were more abstracts come from the black men. When they did draw black women, it wasn't degrading or hypersexual at all. I saw more hypersexual pieces coming from white people containing black women/black men.

To clarify, we're not necessarily talking about artists who just happen to be both black and male, we're talking about black men who draw misogynoir art. there's different types of black male artist but the one that's being talked about specifically is misogynoir art often labeled as "hotep art". Basically were black male artists draw black women in the very hyper-sexualized stereotypical and often disrespectful way. A lot of these art pieces happen to be "Pro black" but are voluntarily misogynistic towards black women and only represent black men better.

If you want more of an understanding of it here are examples of this:

Most of these art includes misogynoir exaggerations of black woman's body and are often depicting us as sexual objects. Black women are almost always drawn naked while the black men are drawn in normal clothing. In some cases these art pieces resemble Minstrel art.

Considering the fact that you mentioned your black male counterparts in art school. You're most likely not going to find this type of art in a professional art school

Thank you for breaking it down! I agree that art school has a level of professionalism not displayed by some self taught artists. The OP made a broad statement and expected people to assume she wasn't talking about a majority. You elaborated clearly with examples about where the frustration was. Once more, thank you for your explanation 😊

This topic has been broached waaaaay to many times for people to still be acting like this isn't a common grievance. Talmbout don't generalize all black men when the qualification specifically mentioned the ones who participated in this degrading medium
