ADFAS Brisbane: Art in the Time of the Plague (SOLD OUT)
Nirvana Rommel is back with 'Art in the Time of the Plague, from the Black Death to the Spanish Flu'
Does conformity constrain artistic expression?
Some of the greatest European painters often juggled two seemingly similar careers – running their own artistic workshops and working as court painters. While one allowed relative freedom of expression and innovation, the other imposed strict courtly rules on the artist’s creativity. This lecture explains the history of the official style which still has impact on today’s images.
Bring a guest.
Morning Tea provided at the Library.
