During the 19th century painters in Western societies began to lose their social position and secure 
patronage. Some artists countered the decline in patronage support by holding their own exhibitions 
and charging an entrance fee. Others earned an income through touring exhibitions of their work. The

need to appeal to a marketplace had replaced the similar, if less impersonal, demands of patronage, 
and its effect on the art itself was probably similar as well. Generally, artists can now reach an 
audience only through commercial galleries and public museums, although their work may be 
occasionally reproduced in art periodicals. They may also be assisted by financial awards or 
commissions from industry and the state. (c,d,e,)
