Livia Drusilla and Powerful Elite Women in Imperial Rome 

Sunday, May 16, 1 pm Central time
$30 members/$40 non-members

Speaking live from Rome, Livia Galante, an expert on Archaeology and Ancient Roman Topography, will present on the role played by aristocratic women in the ancient Roman society as well as following in the footsteps of the woman who paved the way for future Roman empresses. 

Livia Drusilla (58 BCE - 29 CE) was the third wife of emperor Augustus of Rome, mother of emperor Tiberius, and grandmother of emperor Claudius. Like many great women in history, she lived in the shadow of a man, working quietly as both a confidant and an advisor. She served the empire as a devoted wife, standing by her husband’s side in regards to his reform policies, while at the same time turning a blind eye to his unfaithfulness. We’ll discuss how behind the scenes at the imperial court, she spent much of her adult life ensuring her son’s future as heir to Augustus’s throne whether he wanted it or not. 

This class will be held virtually via Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent in a reminder email the day before the class takes place. Please email learn@okcmoa.com with questions.

This class is offered through a partnership  between OKCMOA and Context Travel, a company offering small-group immersive cultural and historical tours, and online seminars and courses led by Ph.D. and MA-level scholars. For more information, click here.

How’s it hangin’, ya’ll?  Alexander Calder revolutionized the art of sculpture with his development of the mobile. Until that point, sculptures had primarily been static objects, firmly planted on the ground. Calder’s innovation was to introduce the element of movement by suspending his sculptures from the ceiling. His mobiles were created in such a way that the different elements of the work remained in a state of balance and would move and rotate as they were affected by the air.  Calder’s color scheme in “Caracas” and many other works was influenced by a visit in 1930 to the Parisian studio of painter Piet Mondrian, who at that time was working almost exclusively with a palette of primary colors, white, and black.  #OKCMOAMovingVision #MyOKCMOA  Credit: Alexander Calder (American, 1898–1976) “Caracas,” 1955, sheet metal, rod, and paint.

Optical illusion was nothing new to painting, from the rediscovery of linear and atmospheric perspective during the Renaissance to the experiments of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists in the late nineteenth century. Op art emerged in very different circumstances, coming at a time when abstraction was synonymous with serious art.  With new materials like acrylic, Plexiglas, and aluminum, Kinetic artists broke from traditional marble or bronze sculpture. Suspending and automating their objects, sculptures were no longer fixed in space but could move and respond to the environment they shared with the viewer.  “Moving Vision” surveys more than two decades of Op and Kinetic art, featuring the founder of Kinetic art, Alexander Calder; influential Op artist Victor Vasarely; and other internationally celebrated artists.  #MyOKCMOA
