it gave them freedom from the church and/or wealthy only offering
commissions
:
The dealer was now the one leading the artists in what is popular to create
ОО
it gave them help with getting into shows since most artists did not know
anyone of influence
Artists no longer received funds upfront for their work, their dealer got paid
instead

C. Is the correct answer!

Explanation:

the art dealer: to bridge the gap between artist and collector, to champion their chosen artists and bring their work to public attention. Art dealers act as curators, often travelling extensively to create a collection which they can then showcase to the art-buying public in their galleries, at art fairs, and increasingly online.

Individual art dealers will often specialise in a particular period or style; for example, you can find a number of dealers who specialise in Old Masters, or in contemporary art. Here at Mark Mitchell, we specialise in 19th-21st century British and Continental fine art.
