Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. The evolution of art and its patronage in Buffalo, New York, is the main focus of this book. The author takes a journey from Buffalo's humble beginnings as a lakefront community to its transformation into a flourishing metropolis. Art patronage in Buffalo began with the commissioning of portraits and shifted to a more robust art scene, as the city's wealth grew. The author highlights the significant role of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy in this development, which began with a public art exhibition in 1861. This book also discusses the impact of the Civil War on the art scene and the subsequent establishment of a permanent gallery for the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, which provided artists with a platform to showcase and sell their work. The author concludes by reflecting on the Academy's founding principles, which continue to shape its mission of bringing art to the community.
