Description
The role of art in American culture remains a contentious issue. Marjorie Garber explores this topic in her thought-provoking book, Patronizing the Arts, examining the complex relationships between artists and their patrons. Garber argues that these connections can be problematic, with artists often being supported financially while also being condescended to for their work. She challenges prevailing prejudices about the role of art in higher education and makes a compelling case for the university as a serious patron of the arts. With clarity and wit, Garber presents a nuanced analysis of artistic and monetary value, and the transactions between high and popular culture. This book is a compelling call to action, urging increased attention to the arts as a core aspect of higher education.
