| Summary: | The following essay conveys a critical introduction to the edition of three texts on the problem of Mannerism as conceived by Arnold Hauser in 1965. The main article is the trenchant review recently identified as written by Keith Andrews, which is completed by Hauser’s answer and a final note of the reviewer. Their completely parallel approaches reproduce a common dichotomy in the historiography of Mannerism: Hauser’s philosophical book meditates on the dynamism of conventions and creativity in an age of economic and cultural crises having little to say about single artworks and their intermediate position between High Renaissance and Baroque. |
