In this work Professor Friedlaender presents Mannerism and early Baroque as distinct autonomous movements, and establishes their aesthetic and historic importance. The "frenzy of the new expressive style," to which Michelangelo s violent movement and bold experiments in color showed the way, was more than a mere reaction against the high classical style. Friedlaender shows us the positive theory and achievement of the "mannerist" school of Pontormo, Rosso, and Parmigianino, with their intensely personal and eccentric styles. In disregarding the natural in favor of arbitrary, asymmetric, and almost abstract treatment of figures in space, they stretched art s vision and understanding. But by the end of the century the inventive, experimental maniera had come to mean "mannered," shallow and unoriginal. Again Friedlaender shows the positive qualities of the reaction, this time toward simplicity and the study of natural appearances. The leaders of this robust, back-to-earth school were the Caracci in Bologna, Cigoli in Florence and Caravaggio the Lombard in Rome. Professor Friedlaender s brilliant insights are supported by close analysis of the forty-six reproductions of the works of both schools. ISBN 9780805200942 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 195.
