- Mannerism: Creativity and Fun in 16th Century Italian Art
-
Fee: $30.00
Item Number: 2025 SCOR127601
Dates: 3/4/2025 - 4/8/2025
Times: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Days: Tu
Sessions: 6
Building: Hunter Presbyterian Church
Room: Fellowship Hall
Instructor: Michael Worley
ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS CLOSED. Please contact the OLLI Office for assistance.
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?

- Reading Genesis: A Study of Marilynne Robinson's Groundbreaking Book-Length Essay
-
THIS CLASS IS FULL. Please click the "Add to Waitlist" button below.
The stories contained in the book of Genesis have shaped the imagination of our culture. In this class we will do a deep dive into their literary and historical influence. We will be guided by Marilyn Robinson’s book, Reading Genesis. In this highly praised book Robinson, Pulitzer Prize winning novelist (Home, Gideon), presents an extended study of Genesis. Though Genesis has a religious viewpoint, the class will not promote a religious agenda. The class will involve lots of conversation, so participants will be expected to read the book of Genesis and Robinson’s Reading Genesis (combined 350 pages total) over the course.
