On a different matter altogether:

I often wonder how #arthistory would have been different if Vasari has been a Venetian? 

Famously, Vasari championing Michealngelo, stressed the basis of art in drawing (disegno) while the art tradition dominant in #Venice emphasised its basis in colour (choice & use).

If Vasari has been a Venetian might we have told a different history of art?

Might we have had a different canon?

Or would the identity of the great artists have remained the same?

 @43d7c4ea My guess is that funding/patrons is key to the direction that human development takes in any field. That leads me to wonder what effect Universal Basic Income will have in that regard. In the Arts in particular, will there be a new Renaissance?
