un po\\\' di maniera a bit affected Explanation: di maniera c. Nella locuz. avv. o agg. di maniera, indica in genere un modo di dipingere, o di scolpire, basato sull’imitazione dei grandi maestri, e quindi, con connotazione deteriore, uno stile ***affettato*** e convenzionale, ***privo di naturalezza*** e di originalità: dipingere di m.; lavorare di m.; un quadro, una statua, un bassorilievo di maniera. Anche, per analogia, con riferimento a poeta o musicista in cui sia troppo evidente l’influsso della scuola, dell’imitazione accademica. http://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/maniera/ working in an ****unnatural and affected*****"manner" (maniera). ….. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannerism |

personal 'manière' Explanation: Since we are in the world of fashion and the etymology of the word is French, I would rather use the French term which preserves in the end the ideal link with the Italian 'Manierism'. These artists were obsessed with 'personal manière'. "[...] popularization flourishes at the same time as exclusiveness, because everyone measures artistic value by scale of sophistication' http://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/manierismo_(Sinonimi-e-Co... https://www.britannica.com/art/Mannerism Mannerist artists evolved a style that is characterized by artificiality and artiness, by a thoroughly self-conscious cultivation of elegance and technical facility, and by a sophisticated indulgence in the bizarre. The figures in Mannerist works frequently have graceful but queerly elongated limbs, small heads, and stylized facial features, while their poses seem difficult or contrived. The deep, linear perspectival space of High Renaissance painting is flattened and obscured so that the figures appear as a decorative arrangement of forms in front of a flat background of indeterminate dimensions. Mannerists sought a continuous refinement of form and concept, pushing exaggeration and contrast to great limits. The results included strange and constricting spatial relationships, jarring juxtapositions of intense and unnatural colours, an emphasis on abnormalities of scale, a sometimes totally irrational mix of classical motifs and other visual references to the antique, and inventive and grotesque pictorial fantasies. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2017-02-03 09:08:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- read here, many interesting pages https://books.google.it/books?id=s7PmAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA7&lpg=PA7... |
