Perspective Presents: The Ornate Beauty of Rococo Art

/ perspectivearts
Travel in the 18th century greatly impacted some of the finest art ever made. The world was getting smaller and took on new influences shown in the glorious Bavarian pilgrimage architecture, Canaletto's romantic Venice and the blossoming of exotic designs and tastes all over Europe.
Following the grandeur of Baroque, Rococo art is often dismissed as frivolous and unserious, but Waldemar Januszczak disagrees. In this three-part series he re-examines Rococo art and argues that the Rococo was actually the age in which the modern world was born. Picking three key territories of Rococo achievement - travel, pleasure and madness - Waldemar celebrates the finest cultural achievements of the period and examine the drives and underlying meanings that make them so prescient.

    I studied Art History in the 70's and my instructor despised the Rococo Movement. His own tastes were towards Impressionist and Pre-Modern art so I can understand why he hated Rococo art. To him, it was frivolous and unserious. But I loved it and still do. Yes, it was "pink and fluffy", that's why I liked it. I still adore Vivaldi as well, an artist we also studied because music is art, too after all. I didn't expect to love this documentary this much though. How I wish Waldamar had been there to guide me through the whole Art History experience. He definitely would have made it more interesting. I'll be watching all of his other docs as well.

    One of the greatest artists in all of Western history emerged from the rococo--Johann Sebastian Bach. He actually created his musical masterpieces close to Meissen, Dresden and all these major rococo palaces and churches in Germany featured in this program. Bach's contemporaries disliked his music--it was seen as too ornate, too complex, to fuddy-duddy. Just like your professor's opinion of rococo in general. Of course, now we recognize this rococo composer as the greatest musical genius of the Western tradition, having deeply influenced the likes of Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner, Brahms, Debussy, Mahler, Prokofiev and all the others. His music is conceivably the best ever conceived, IMHO. His cantatas alone are so sonorous--they do great things with the human voice.

    As a chinoiserie artist working for 20 years, I also agree. The Rococo period was not only the golden age of Chinoiserie (it existed to a degree in Europe before the 18th Century), it also was a period of tremendous furniture making. I've lost count of how many 18th century furniture I have seen coming to my place of work, I mean truck loads. And this is just one antique shop. And there thousands of high-end antiques shops all over the world with genuine furniture of the 18th century specifically from the Rococo period.

    I can't help but be reminded of Coppola's 'Marie Antoinette' and how the film has been criticized for its apparent lack of 'substance' and for having a too contemporary soundtrack. From my perspective, Coppola simply wanted the film to embody the disconnect - that sense of being out of place - between Rococo, with it's delicious, pastel hues, and France's desperate economic situation at that time.

    Perfect! I expected specific works and a word on each artist, but I got much more: a good look at the rococo era, a wildly changing era moving people from camera obscura to absurd ideas of the “mysterious orient.” It’s extraordinary how we found ourselves in a sort of tsunami of new feelings, wanderlust, and brilliant ideas. Seems like just steps behind us, our ancestors were still coping with the earth being round, and right ahead of us there were the penicillin and Darwin. No wonder then that those enticing Fragonard girls morphed into “well-behaved” girls who screamed for Ringo. What could be more logical?

    It is owed to Canaletto's landscapes of Warsaw and their incredible, meticulously painted detail, that Warsaw's old town had been reconstructed almost from ashes after WW2. The destruction of the city and its resources was accompanied with the loss of of the architectonic documentation of the area. Also, August the Strong didn't bend horseshoes. They were already made like that. He straightened them. But aside from his countless downsides, one has got to acknowledge his achievement of being a man who actually cared to forge Chinese produce xDDD

    Rococo is so exaggerated, heavy with adornment, fluidity and rhythm. I think a lot of contemporary artists on internet seeks the same principles of rhythm, action and expression, influenced of course by animation, like Walt Disney's ones, that really exaggerates movement to highlight expression. I love to compare recent contemporary art with these old beauties. I mean, Rococo is a bit too much for me, but the documentary was so good to explain why it was like this!

    Rococo - I knew nothing! Not what I thought - it is like Baroque with airy lightness and beauty beyond expectations. I hesitate to use the term Glorious fearing there is no more, but that defined it for me. What a fun surprise!

    I am grateful that the German city of Meissen was covered in this particular documentary. It is not known well enough in this world. Quite often they’re porcelain is overlooked. And the town is as charming as you can imagine. My maternal ancestors are from there. Our family inherited many pieces of the Mason that my Nana and grandpa priced. We all had the famous blue onion plates and cups and saucers that people see it’s all off and understand where the design is from. Thank you so much for that

    My first art history professor was so unforgiving and dismissive towards the Rococo, and in modern times it's easy to see why it's so disliked. Still, I love this narrator's positive approach! He appreciates the beauty and magnificence of the pieces, highlights the mindset and artistic achievements of the movement (far better than my professor did), while still poking fun at the silliness of it.

    While watching videos of the Rio and Sao Paolo Carnivals, it occurred to me that the floats that are created each year by the various Samba teams are continuing the Rococo tradition. Instead of ostriches, they always have many floats with jungle themes, with various jungle animals and birds, as well as floats with religious (catholic) themes, and almost all the floats are amazing, over-the-top, exuberant, works of art.

    I visit the Castle of Sans, Soucy it was so stunningly gorgeous, the details, the sculptures, the parks. One detail that I found funny when you go down the steps toward the flowers beds, We were told that the height and how many different levels it had was that when Frederick the 1st when he was at the bottom of it he could no longer see the Castle. He was 5'1" inches tall (154 cms) so our guide told us to bend down once we were at the bottom of it, I am 6'2" tall (188 cms) we all laugh because of this. The inside of the Castle is gorgeous, and he did not allow his wife except on rare occasions to visit him there.

    Dreadful lockdown! everyone is tired of this aspect of 2020 all around. But it looks like there is light at The end of the tunnel and it won't be 4 ever given the vaccines in development now and reaching phases where trials are phasing soon into distribution. It will take a long time for vaccination to wind it's way through the world, but it looks like science and technology were gifts again from our Creator to save the day! I'm holding on and wearing my mask, using hand sanitizer, keeping social distance, going out only on essential trips -- looking at bright side -- it's been over a year since this deadly bug hit the global stage. It hasn't killed off humanity despite its awful death toll and economic impact. We're still standing to fight another day. God bless you! And a Happy Thanksgiving! Be well; be safe!

    BTW: I cried as Cathedral Notre Dame burned. U sound like it might have hit you hard, too. I hope they have protected the wood from elements until roof can be replaced. Wood that doesn't even grow any more had been part of that structure. My tears were over the lack of deep regard for posterity and ancient artifacts & architecture that the fire represented to me. I hope there is a channel on YTube or podcast/blog re refurbishing CND. I would love to watch this.
