In this class, students will review the curious period of art known as Mannerism, which falls between Renaissance and Baroque. First, by looking at High Renaissance masterpieces, the powerful and inescapable influence of Michelangelo will become evident. Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino, inspired by Michelangelo's unique contribution, initiated Mannerism. The second generation, including Bronzino, Parmigianino, and Vasari, represents Mannerism's flowering. But the excesses of the movement would not be tolerated by Counter Reformation leaders who established rules of decorum, while early Baroque artists would reject the artificiality and virtuosity of Mannerist artists. For centuries, Mannerism was regarded as a decline and its artists were called neurotic or insane. Students will likely question the traditional interpretations of the movement's origins: was it simply zeitgeist or was it a response to political and social forces?

- More World Class Japanese Cinema (Hybrid)
-
ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS CLOSED. Please contact the OLLI Office for assistance.
Japan developed a sophisticated movie industry early in the 20th century, but Japanese cinema did not receive international attention and acclaim until after WWII. In this course we will watch a diverse collection of noteworthy Japanese movies. We may not speak Japanese or have an indepth knowledge of Japan’s unique history and culture, but we can still appreciate the brilliance of these films. This is because moviemaking, whether in Hollywood or Tokyo, relies on common technical, organizational, and narrative components. Focusing on these common components will help us appreciate the achievements of Japanese cinema. This course is a follow-up to the previous OLLI course, “Appreciating World Class Japanese Cinema”. (Note: All films are in Japanese with English subtitles.)
