Art as power and performance: Byzantine and modern art compared and contrasted
Mon 16 April 2012 - Mon 21 May 2012
Institute of Continuing Education
For the Byzantines, art was a craft central to their culture and lavishly supported by the state. From the ‘Modern’ period on, ‘artists’ have fulfilled a more variable role in society. How are these very different perspectives reflected in the art of the two periods?
This new short course at Madingley Hall will consider issues of style, function and patronage. It will help you to develop your analytical skills in both these periods of art, opening up new areas of knowledge of Byzantine society and of the way art is consumed today.

16 April: Byzantium: empire of faith and power (Dr Eileen Rubery
23 April: Modern movements and their social context (Dr Michael Baldry)
