Newberry Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Figure the FutureThe 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvir9 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 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. ;) Ginnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
