Who have been the major players throughout the history of oil painting? Why is this so?
Some of the major player of oil painting are Henri Matisse, Edward Hopper, Vincent Van Gogh, and many others. I believe this is because they are all white, educated, and for the most part wealthy.
Who seems to be missing from the history of oil painting? Why is this so?
I think people people of color, women, and less educated people are missing from the history of oil painting. I believe this because everyone should be able to have the opportunity to be able to work will oil paint and any other kind of art supplies that they wish.
Where in the world did most oil painting taking place?
A lot of oil painting took place in America and Europe. This is because they are more privileged than a lot of other countries.
Where did all these oil paintings go? Why? How does where these paintings “live” affect who learns about them and why?
These oil paintings go to art museums, galleries, schools, offices, and peoples houses. Most of the time if people have oil paintings in their houses they have some wealth, and are probably educated.
How has subject matter changed over time? Why?
I think subject matter has changed over time in a couple of different ways. I think that there is more mood in the paintings now as suppose to just what is right in front of the painter.

why do you think there is this connection between wealth/privilege and oil painting?
I think there is a connection between wealth/privilege and oil paint because oil pant it expensive not only to buy the paint but a finished work is very pricey. Most people who don't have a lot of money will not be splurging on oil paintings.
