Rococo & Baroque Art: Unit 5

The Rococo and Baroque generation of art was very pleasing and beautiful. This art was filled with many decorations, and decorative fixtures. There was also a lot of movement and curved lines in the art. Not to mention the immense political, and religious influence on the art of that period. Yet the best part of it was that they manipulated light really well, and the art had sensuality within it. This type of art was present in both architecture, and paintings. Gothic architecture is my favorite kind of architecture but the Rococo period’s decorative fixtures are fun to look at and contemplate. I simply prefer the Avant garde tower qualities associated with gothic architecture. The paintings in Rococo period are some of my favorite art pieces from the 18^th century. The romantics were overly emotional, and the neoclassical artists were a bit too serious at times. Yet, Rococo and Baroque artists sometimes seemed to have fun with the art. The tantalizing kisses, hand holding, and sexy fondling is fun to see, and kind of scandalous. If I had to keep any piece of art from that century to keep I would definitely invest in a Rococo or baroque piece.
