Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a spirited and patriotic argument for the necessity of government support for the fine arts in Great Britain during a time when the arts have been relegated solely to the influence of market forces. The author, as a painter and connoisseur, presents the argument that government protection is necessary to encourage and stimulate British artists to greater heights in a way that private patronage simply cannot.
