	Guggenheim Museum - Exhibitions - Robert Mapplethorpe and the Classical Tradition: Photographs and Mannerist Prints
		Robert Mapplethorpe and the Classical Tradition: Photographs and Mannerist Prints explores the dialogue between the photographs of Robert Mapplethorpe (1946–1989) and classical art, in particular late-16th-century Flemish Mannerist prints, through the engravings and woodcuts of Hendrick Goltzius, Jan Harmensz.
		Mannerist printmaking spread from Italy to France and Northern Europe.
		Referred to as the "stylish style," Mannerism is illustrated by emotional and narrative elements that shift away from the balance of harmony articulated by the art of the High Renaissance.

		Mannerist architecture, roughly contemporarneous with mannerist art, draws attention to design elements themselves particularly through visual paradox and confusion.
		The earliest master of the mannerist style in architecture was Michelangelo Buonarotti, whose architecture is filled with confusing and contradictory devices.
		Mannerist buildings are still very proportioned and rigidly designed—they don't present, however, a serenely symmetrical surface but rather draw our attention to their very use of architectural elements.

	Mannerist Narrative
		The mannerists' true force shows itself in the cracked surface, in the need to escape their own affectations.
		Given Sypher's description "of the mannerist depersonalization or frigidity as lacking an appearance of humanity although the sensitivity to experience is extreme," Walker's novel of inanimate spies is a direct translation of mannerism into narrative.
		As is so often the case with mannerist narrative, the perfection implicitly promised by the ostentatiously worked surface is not fulfilled.

	Mannerism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Because the definitions are usually set up as oppositions to High Renaissance conventions, anything that doesn't fit the latter rubric is shuffled into 'Mannerism,' including, notably, playfulness and jokes, of which Renaissance patrons were fond.
		Hence, main palaces and houses are often identified as being executed in a sober, "Renaissance" style, while the casino or country house is identified as a "Mannerist" building with "Mannerist" paintings.
		One definition of Mannerism says that after the realistic depiction of the human form and the mastery of perspective was achieved in high Renaissance Classicism, some artists started to deliberately distort proportions for emotional and artistic effect; these techniques of distortion became Mannerism.

	Czeck art Gallery. Collection of czeck Artists paintings. Ivan Komárek
		Homage to mannerism Komárek’s Mannerist series can be traced back to several key aspects his previous work, in which he already used a variety of Mannerist elements — from extravagant formalism and expressively grotesque depiction of the human figure to omnipotent eroticism.
		It was printed reproductions of Mannerist paintings rather than the originals which provided the Models for Komárek’s interpretations; as a result, the narration of these works was a mediated one, creating space for Komárek to establish a dominant and masterful artistic presence in each of his works.
		This confusion of techniques is in itself typical of the Mannerist approach, in addition to the fact that Komárek often feels the urge to boldly transform works of Mannerist art.

		Referred to as “the stylish style,” it is characterized by compositional, emotional, and narrative elements that shift away from the median of harmony and equilibrium embodied by the art of the High Renaissance.
		An exceptional selection of Mannerist works from the Hermitage collection will be paired with superb photographs by Mapplethorpe from the collections of the Guggenheim and the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation.

		If you are not a vegetarian and brave enough to look beyond the sausages, and the arrangement of pig’s feet, meat pies and hog’s heads, you’ll probably notice some activity in the distance.
		Frequently used disparagingly to suggest affectation, often from an opposing `classical' point of view, it reflects a style in art and architecture (c.1520-1600) that originated in Italy as a reaction against the equilibrium of form and proportions characteristic of the High Renaissance.
		A pioneer of still life and genre painting, he is best known for scenes that at first glance look like pure examples of these types, but which in fact have a religious scene incorporated in them.

	The State Hermitage Museum: Exhibitions
		Around 50 works by these artists from the Hermitage collection are exhibited together with a similar number of works by Mapplethorpe from the collection of the Guggenheim, together with several bronze sculptures from the late 16th century until the beginning of the 17th century which were made by Italian, French and Flemish masters.
		The classical photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe (1946—1989) are shown to reflect the prints of Dutch and Flemish Mannerist masters Hendrick Goltzius, Jan Muller, Jacob Matham, and Jan Saenredam, who, in turn, were influenced by classical and Italian art.
		The central theme of the exhibition is the interrelationship between Mapplethorpe's photographs and the elaborate forms of Mannerist art, in particular studies of the human form in all its sensuous manifestations.

	Robert Mapplethorpe and the Classical Tradition: Photographs and Mannerist Prints - New York Magazine Art Review
		In contrast to the harmonious style of Raphael, the Mannerists, drawing particularly upon the later work of Michelangelo, emphasized theatrical exaggeration—contorted poses, elongated bodies, rippling muscles, and razzle-dazzle compositions.
		In his pictures of a man inside a circular form, for example, the figure seems to be stopping the wheel instead of, as in the juxtaposed Mannerist print, flying off into space.
		The Mannerist element in his art sometimes looks compensatory, as if he feared perfection was now an empty vessel—and idolatrous exaggeration and a heightened aestheticism were the only way he could attain something extraordinary.

		A reaction to the harmonious Classicism and idealized naturalism of High Renaissance art, Mannerism was concerned with solving intricate artistic problems, such as portraying nudes in complex poses.
		The figures in Mannerist works frequently have graceful but queerly elongated limbs, small heads, and stylized facial features, while their poses seem difficult or contrived.
		Mannerists sought a continuous refinement of form and concept, pushing exaggeration and contrast to great limits.

		Toward the mid-1580s he conceived a radical break, developing his signature style (the "bulbous" or "dough" style) of swelling grooves inter-spersed with dots and blank spaces that convey a robust if in places exaggerated three-dimensionality.
		Finally, in 1600, Goltzius gave up engraving altogether and devoted the last years of his life exclusively to drawing and, more significantly, to painting, a medium in which he had previously shown little interest.
		While the prints from Goltzius's Mannerist period are his best known, the crisp impressions on view, culled mainly from caches at the Met and the Rijksmuseum, can only enhance their fame.
