Figure the Future, Upcoming TAS Talk

[Newberry]

Figure the Future

The nude in art graced the civilizations of Ancient Greece, the Italian

Renaissance, and much of Europe through to the beginning of the 20th

century. In this presentation, painter Michael Newberry will explain how

the nude stands for more than titillation—that rather it is the

personification of the individual. He will argue that the nude

represents and complements the best humanist traditions and that a

flourishing future cannot do without the nude in art.

Michael Newberry has exhibited throughout Europe and the United States.

He taught at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles and

established the Newberry Workshop, sharing his knowledge through a

series of online mini-tutorials. He has also published on aesthetics and

the philosophy of art.

Michael N; Glad to hear about your talk in Portland.

Every time I look at Icarus Landing, I am reminded of how powerful the nude can be. I wish I could be there for your lecture . . .!

You should publish the transcript afterwards. ;)
