Gender and Judgement: The Blind Spot of the Visual Arts ‘Quality’ is the foremost criteria, when Danish art museums collect artworks. At least that is what curators claim when it comes to gender, and most female artists agree: gender issues are second to quality. However, in this article the concept of ‘quality’ is an obstacle for a critical thinking of gender. ‘Quality’ does not exist as an autonomous analytic category in the field of the visual arts. On the contrary, it is depending on the agents’ habitus as well as the cultural and social processes of valuing in the field. Therefore, this article argues, ‘gender’ should be considered before ‘quality’, just as ‘periods’, ‘geography’, ‘-isms’, ‘motives’ and so on are naturalized analytic categories in the museums’ everyday which without trouble go before any concern of ‘quality’. The article is not aiming at an equal number of male and female artists’  represented in the museums, which would just reproduce the traditional concept of quality, but of an increased professional awareness of gender issues in all practices and discourses of art.

Abstract Between the age of six and eleven, children easily express themselves through drawing. After this age, there is a blockage due to the development of critical thinking. If during the 6 - 11 age stage children draw using symbol schemes, reporting what they remember and what they understood from what they saw, after the age of 10-11 (secondary phase) children want to draw what they see and thus they face challenges related to technical means and language specific for arts. In this regard, a mediation is necessary between the technical means and the artwork or reproductions of fine art (either in albums, or displayed on a screen) using guided questions. This process, that over the years of teaching proved its efficiency, contributes to the development of students’ imagination and creativity, and to the formation of a useful general culture.
