| Description: | Controversy is not new to the 21st century. It has always been there, though perhaps more suppressed than in recent years. The 19th century is replete with controversial images in both painting and sculpture, but the roots of freely expressed ideas and feelings began long before the 19th century. Dr. Sachs will give an overview of some of the most celebrated and infamous masterpieces that have come down to us from the 19th century. They are rife with unsettling content either to contemporary audiences when artworks were first created or to subsequent generations of audiences that deemed them unacceptable, politically incorret, obscene, blasphemous or just plain bad. Some of the artists we will examine are Donatello, Michelangelo, Bernini, Caravaggio, Manet, Courbet, Rodin, Gerome, Copley, Goya, Turner, Powers, bouguereau and Monet, to name a few. | |
