CRI 100 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Italian Renaissance Painting, Conservation-Restoration Of Cultural Heritage, Roman Art
Document Summary
Separation of art from commerce relies on the idea that an artistic inclination and talent will exclude the artist from any involvement in administrative or commercial matters. Aesthetic man and economic man are stereotypes. The industrialization of creativity can be traced through the history of industrialization in many different ways: design and architecture are profoundly influenced by standardization, manufacturing technologies and infrastructure. Patron/patronage: institutions or individuals who fund artistic practice of some kind, protect an artist or a group of artists, collect and preserve artwork for posterity. Value: value is established from social evaluation and estimation. Valuation is essentially a social activity, either in a marketplace or among a particular social group which can recognize and establish the work of a new designer or an artist. Technology: technology is the reduction of processes (material, physical, social) to physical systems or systematic procedures. The artist as genius: this notion dates back from the renaissance.
