Mannerism: Elegant Art
Derived from the Italian “maniera”, meaning simply “style”. The sixteenth-century artist and critic Vasari – himself a mannerist – believed that excellence in painting demanded refinement, the richness of invention, and virtuoso technique, criteria that emphasized the artist’s intellect. Seen as bizarre, sometimes acid color, its illogical compression of space, the elongated proportions, and exaggerated anatomy of figures in convoluted, serpentine poses - frequently create a feeling of anxiety for the viewer.
