Question

The Rococo is an art characterized by the pursuit of pleasure. Comment.?

Answer 1

Or, it's just curvy design, according the curators of the current Rococo show at the Cooper Hewitt Museum of Design in NYC.

Answer 2

Yes, your statement is correct. The style of Rococco is meant for the pursuit of pleasure. The style began about 1700 and lasted till about the 1760s. It began in France. It is characterized by lightness, grace, elegance, and an excessive use of curving, natural forms in decoration. The most important French artists of Rococco were Antoine Watteau, Francois Boucher and Jean-Honore Fragonard. Their paintings differed greatly in style and subject matter from those of the earlier Baroque period. Mostly, Rococco paintings were of secular subjects rather than religious subjects. Larger paintings were usually devoted to Greek or Roman mythology. Often they would show gods in amorous scenes like Venus with Mars (Ares) or Cupid with Psyche. Often they would show lovers in idyllic or pastoral scenes. Often their paintings would depict elegantly dressed figures in parks and gardens. The Rococco style spread from France to other countries. Giovanni Battista Tiepolo in Italy painted his ceiling murals in a Rococco style. The ornate and decorative style of Rococco was also applied to architecture, furniture, porcelain, tapestries, etc. In architecture the Rococco style reached its greatest splendor in palaces, monasteries and churches in southern Germany and Austria. The most important aspect of Rococco was to delight. I hope that this has been a help to you.
