A Lovely Introduction September 21, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The 1700's were a fun and frothy time for French painting, but Boucher, Fragonard and Watteau are a bit out of fashion these days. Too fun, too frothy, too frilly, too flirty.
But man, what we're missing: Antoine Watteau's work is a window into a world of courtship and flirtation, where the skirts billow and the corsets cling, and every day is a good time for a picnic.
And the paint. These guys knew how to handle them some paint! Gorgeous, lush, technically masterful... It takes some serious skill to do justice to fun, frivolity and women without many clothes on!
Buy this book and imagine the world that might have been...
