There is a long history of governments and artists working together, but governments and artists have a love/hate relationship. Artists are rarely happy and even more seldom do they fully approve of the governments they live under. While that spirit within us all is touched by the beauty, idealism, suffering, and pain that art often represents, no government will for long support art that it considers subversive. The best of artists endure beyond their own years and some reach near immortality transcending the societies that produced them whether or not they were loved in their own lifetime and it is time more often than not that is required to validate most human endeavor.
