Le Caravage (Michelangelo Merisi) (Caravaggio; 1571 ndash; Porto Ercole; 1610)Apregrave;s avoir seacute;journeacute; agrave; Milan durant son apprentissage; Michelangelo Merisi arriva agrave; Rome en 1592. Lagrave;; il commenccedil;a agrave; peindre en faisant preuve de reacute;alisme et de psychologie dans la repreacute;sentation de ses modegrave;les. Le Caravage eacute;tait aussi versatile dans sa peinture que dans sa vie. Lorsquil reacute;pondait agrave; de prestigieuses commandes de lEglise; son style dramatique et son reacute;alisme eacute;taient consideacute;reacute;s comme inacceptables. Le clair-obscur existait bien avant que le Caravage narrive sur scegrave;ne; mais ce fut lui qui eacute;tablit deacute;finitivement cette technique; obscurcissant les ombres et rivant son sujet agrave; la toile par un rayon de lumiegrave;re aveuglant. Son influence fut immense; et se propagea dabord gracirc;ce agrave; ses disciples plus ou moins directs. Ceacute;legrave;bre de son vivant; le Caravage exerccedil;a une immense influence sur lart baroque. Les eacute;coles geacute;noise et napolitaine sinspiregrave;rent de son style; et le grand deacute;veloppement de la peinture espagnole au XVIIe siegrave;cle eacute;tait en liaison directe avec ces eacute;coles. Dans les geacute;neacute;rations ulteacute;rieures; les peintres les plus doueacute;s oscillegrave;rent toujours entre la vision du Caravage et celle de Carracci.

McFaddenHow can we transform negative attitudes about older people; frailty; and long-term care? How can we persuade elders who do not have dementia or use walkers and wheelchairs to change their minds about those who do? How can college students be inspired to care about what goes on behind the walls of the long-term care residences? How can college and university faculty teach their students that ldquo;civic engagementrdquo; can not only be meaningful but also playful? How can long-term care administrators and employees benefit from collaborations with artists; students; and faculty?Put on a play!This book is inspiring; informative; and performative. It speaks to many audiences. However; you donrsquo;t need to be planning to spend a couple of years figuring out how to present a play based on The Odyssey throughout a whole continuum of care community to benefit from reading it. It will stimulate you to imagine how the arts can change attitudes about aging; older people; and long-term care; and about how generations can come together in joyful creativity to accomplish this.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Changing the Face of Elder CareBy Dorothy SerraThe book is a chorus of candid; thoughtful voices of people involved in a two-year partnership to shape a collaborative performance project between a longterm care community and university theatre students in Milwaukee and a Chicago-based theatre company. Juxtaposing the myth of Penelope; who waited 20 years for the return of Odysseus from the Trojan War; with the story of an elder in longterm care waiting for a long overdue visit from her daughter; The Penelope Project utilized a range of diverse art forms to create a site-specific work staged at the longterm care community itself. The book is not only a highly readable chronicle of one inspiring project; it provides a useful step-by-step guide for artists and anyone committed to infusing longterm care with creative possibilities0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
