William Deresiewicz, a leading critic of the arts and of contemporary culture, set out to answer those questions. Based on interviews with artists of all kinds, The Death of the Artist argues that we are in the midst of an epochal transformation. If artists were artisans in the Renaissance, bohemians in the 19th century, and professionals in the 20th, a new paradigm is emerging in the digital age, one that is changing our fundamental ideas about the nature of art and the role of the artist in society.

A great read for any artist looking to learn more about where things are for all creative fields in the big tech era. Would also recommend to consumers who are looking to be informed and ethical in supporting and funding the arts in an impactful and efficient way. Demonetizing art is a huge issue and Deresiewicz does a great job of giving a broad view of how difficult it can be to be a professional artist in a time when the internet claims how easy it is to become an artist.
