A deeply researched warning about how the digital economy threatens artists' lives and work--the music, writing, and visual art that sustain our souls and societies--from an award-winning essayist and critic

There are two stories you hear about earning a living as an artist in the digital age. One comes from Silicon Valley. There's never been a better time to be an artist, it goes. If you've got a laptop, you've got a recording studio. If you've got an iPhone, you've got a movie camera. And if production is cheap, distribution is free: it's called the Internet. Everyone's an artist; just tap your creativity and put your stuff out there.

The other comes from artists themselves. Sure, it goes, you can put your stuff out there, but who's going to pay you for it? Everyone is not an artist. Making art takes years of dedication, and that requires a means of support. If things don't change, a lot of art will cease to be sustainable.

So which account is true? Since people are still making a living as artists today, how are they managing to do it? 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 nineteenth century, and professionals in the twentieth, 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.

Lasts a while for the price

Honestly, the best quality socks for the price. Last a long time and lots of sport and non-sport usage. Trim your toe nails though, this isn't immune to dank toe nail care.

Great Quality Socks!
Number of Items: 6, Color: Black (6-pairs), Size: Large
These Under Armour no-show socks are perfect—comfortable, breathable, and they stay in place all day without slipping. The fabric feels durable yet lightweight, and they wash up nicely without shrinking. Great value for a 6-pack, and they fit true to size. Exactly what I needed!

Good for a few uses
Number of Items: 6, Color: Steel Assorted (6-pairs), Size: Large
Elastic breaks down after a few washes and they become "quitters" and slide down into your sneaker. Very soft and comfortable for maybe a dozen wears
