An examination of the dependence and independence of the artist in the contemporary world in which they must choose between consumerism and state support.

In Theory Text Context and Other Essays, K. G. Subramanyan asks what exactly we mean by the patron when we speak of modern art. Seeking to understand the conditions necessary for a cultural renaissance to occur, he also wonders whether a cultural renaissance is even possible and if it can be more than the mere revival of old forms and manners. Exploring whether theories of art are timeless or time-bound, he discusses advances in visual art and how they influence our perception of art history. Subramanyan brings his trademark candor, lucidity, and wisdom to these reflections and responses.
