Patronage and Akwete Weaving
Patronage and its effects on the arts of sub-Saharan Africa is an important issue. In addition to observing the art object and the artist's input into its production, it is valuable to consider the input of the consumers, and how they acquire and use art. Not only can we gain insight into the social and economic relationships between producer and consumer, but we can also begin to understand how and why certain influences come to be imposed on th…
