Sinossi

Powerful Art Patrons explores the significant influence of wealth and power on the creation and evolution of art throughout history. It examines how art patronage, from the Renaissance to today, has shaped not only what art is made but also who gets to see it. The book highlights the complex relationship between artists and their benefactors, demonstrating how patronage involves more than just financial support; it also involves power dynamics that can dictate artistic choices and trends.

 
Consider the Medici family, who commissioned groundbreaking works that defined the Renaissance, illustrating how personal fortunes can shape entire artistic movements. The book approaches this topic by tracing the evolution of art patronage across different eras. Beginning with foundational concepts, it then delves into specific historical periods and patrons, such as Peggy Guggenheim, analyzing their impact on artists and the art world.

 
Finally, it examines contemporary models of art funding, including corporate sponsorships and private philanthropy, and the ethical considerations involved. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of how art patronage acts as both a catalyst for innovation and a potential constraint on artistic expression, offering valuable insights for art enthusiasts and those interested in the intersection of art, history, and economics.

    How sustained disruptions to children's safety have physical, behavioral, and mental health impact that follow them into adulthood. 
     
     
     
    At its heart, polyvagal theory describes how the brain's unconscious sense of safety or danger impacts our emotions and behaviors. In this powerful book, pediatrician and neonatologist Marilyn R. Sanders and child psychiatrist George S. Thompson offer listeners both a meditation on caregiving and a call to action for physicians, educators, and mental health providers. When children don't have safe relationships, or emotional, medical, or physical traumas punctuate their lives, their ability to love, trust, and thrive is damaged. Children who have multiple relationship disruptions may have physical, behavioral, or mental health concerns that follow them into adulthood. 
     
     
     
    By attending to the lessons of polyvagal theory—that adult caregivers must be aware of children's unconscious processing of sensory information—the authors show how professionals can play a critical role in establishing a sense of safety even in the face of dangerous, and sometimes incomprehensibly scary, situations.
