Theory Text Context
About This Book
Theory Text Context and Other Essays is a collection by K. G. Subramanyan about how far artists depend on, and can stand apart from, the world around them. Today's artist, he suggests, must choose between the pull of consumerism and support from the state, and he asks what we actually mean by the patron when we talk about modern art. He also considers what conditions a cultural renaissance would need, whether one is possible at all, and whether it could be more than a revival of old forms and manners. Other essays ask whether theories of art are timeless or tied to their time, and how advances in visual art change the way we see art history. The pieces are written with his characteristic frankness, clarity and good sense.
