Abstract: The Baroque world was a flowing one, a realm of slippery presences in constant flux. Everything seemed to be in endless motion –the space, the time, the emotions and the man itself. It was a deeply shifting world, and this absence of solidity and certainty would come to define both the macro and the microcosms of these inconstant times. It was in the Baroque that man was unmoored from fixed convictions of faith, land and existence, and became a “floating subject” in a polycentric ever fluid world. Like the style itself, the man became decentralised, forever ambulating through the peripheries with no centre. Thus it would be important to examine ‘this first fluid age’, and explore its conditions as well as diverse forms of its liquidity, not in order to gain a novel perspective on this dawn of modernity, but to better understand the fluidity of our present state. Like other Baroque phenomena, fluidity encompassed a rather complex and wide ranging set of manifestations – from the swirls of angels on the ceilings of Pietro da Cortona, and the polyvalence of space in the complex interiors by Guarini to the fluidity of being that marked equally the statues of Messerschmidt and Bernini’s Borghese mythologies. Each of these aspects initiated the complex process that, formed the foundation of our modern concept of the world and of ourselves. In oreder to better symbolize the concept of fluidity as a form of the bridge between the world of Baroque and the age of ourselves, each chapter will open with a prologue of a particularly fluid Baroque character, and would end with the vignette on a contemporary artist and his/her work that transposed that specified concept of fluidity into our time. 2023 Key words: Concept of fluidity, Water in art , Baroque, contemporary artist Todorović, Jelena The concept of fluidity in the Baroque Age : liquid mirrors All rights reserved The concept of fluidity in the Baroque Age Cambridge Scholars Publishing application/pdf 1429085 bytes https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:30933 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/book
