If a patron buys from an artist who needs money (needs money to buy tools, time, food), the patron then makes himself equal to the artist; he is building art into the world; he creates.

Summary

This quote suggests that when a patron buys artwork from an artist who is in need of financial support, they not only provide the necessary resources but also establish a mutual connection with the artist. By supporting the artist's livelihood and enabling them to continue creating, the patron assumes an equal role. In doing so, they contribute to the growth and existence of art in the world, becoming creators themselves through their support and appreciation.
