The genius of the economist Keynes. John Maynard Keynes, persuaded Britain, in 1945 the world’s most indebted nation. to start subsidising the making and accessing of art and culture on a national scale, through the creation of the Arts Council
Keynes’s words on this institution — some of his last, before his exhausted heart gave in — speak for themselves.
“I do not believe it is yet realised what an important thing has happened.”
“At last the public exchequer has recognised the support and encouragement of the civilising arts of life as a part of their duty.”
“The artist . . . teaches us to love and to enjoy what we often begin by rejecting.”
“We look forward to the time when the theatre and the concert hall and the gallery will be a living element in everyone’s upbringing . . . ”
“Let every part of Merry England be merry in its own way. Death to Hollywood.”
