Rococo

Rococo art was my least favorite art of the time period, not just because many of the pictures did not attract me, yet most of the act work was painted simply to look "pretty". Learning about Baroque Art first set the bar too high, I imagined Rococo Art to be even better, for Mrs. DeRichie pronounced it with such flare, yet i grew disappointed. This artwork seemed to show the giddy aspects of life without morals, such as The Swing by Jean-Honore Fragonard, one well-known Rococo artist. This picture is said to be a woman committing adultery with the one who her legs are open to, while her husband pushes her "in the dark". I love obscene art, yet the reasoning must be pure, I believe, not pure, but..hold some shade of grey, not be simply a woman doing wrong to her husband.
Another very famous painting is The Embarkation for Cythera by Jean-Antoine Watteau. I think some of the paintings, like this one, are fine to gaze upon, yet I d not love the very "fairy tale" aspect. I cannot help myself, I prefer things to hold fierce meaning or simple display, yet cannot truly love Rococo, for it goes against what I create art for, for a purpose, even if it is just to laugh, Rococo art seems to create to show the frivolous, care-free, only please yourself, always do what is best for number one, yours truly, and it seems to promote being very conceited and selfish, at least in my eyes.
