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.

Good quality but sizing is not accurate
Color: Black, Size: Medium
The vest looks really nice and the fabric feels like good quality, so no complaints there. However, the sizing was not accurate based on the measurements provided. I ordered according to the size chart, but it didn’t fit as expected, so I had to return it. If you’re planning to buy it, I would recommend double checking or maybe sizing up to be safe. Overall, the product itself seems well made, but the sizing issue was disappointing.

Suit jacket
This suite jacket was a perfect fit for my husband. It went well with the vest and tie we also ordered. The material is a good quality it held up all day and night. It's not to heavy to make it uncomfortable. It is perfect for our date nights and special occasions.

Great value/Runs small however!!
Coming from 30 years in the garment industry with a dozen in men's formal wear I can attest to this being a great value! It is well put together/stitched but runs small so absolutely order a size up from what you would normally order. I am not sure how they came to the inches measured but they are definitely off. Will be donating the one I received to bless someone else and ordering the next size up!
