No More Venuses – the Nude in Modern Art
8pm-9pm. Since the early Renaissance the female body has been paraded as a representation of Venus, elevating it from a naked body into an idealised nude, given to the changing ideals of beauty over the ages. It is only in the 19th century that the naked body sheds its classical veneer to adopt new guises, mostly in tandem with the development of avant-garde art movements and reflecting the changing attitudes of society and the artist’s own aims. Lecturer: Lydia Bauman (by popular request).
