Question

why does that painting mrs. grace darymple is consider as rococo art?

Answer 1

Hi! First.... what was Rococo art? It was an aristocratic art, charming, fashionable, stylish, intimate, depicting pleasure with delicate colors, curving forms, canvases with cherubs and myths of love. .... a great departure from the Baroque's church/state orientation. Rococo was considered frivolous art, exclusively for the aristocracy, devoid of social problems, depicting leisure, decoration and ornament. Now.. look at the painting.... and find the characteristics that may be representative of this style.

Answer 2

I belong to an art group online, and one of the artists found an online article about what type of art the general public would be more likely to buy. Far more than half the study stated that a well done, realistic landscape, with an animal in it, was voted as being most enjoyed by the general public. Anything created, for the purpose of pleasing your own eye, or someone else's, is considered art. Abstract can be nice, if the comp is good,and it pleases the eye, although I'm not generally an abstract fan. I'm also not a fan of "painterly" art, that you have to look at, from halfway across a gallery, to view properly, although there are many good artists that paint loosely. I don't consider strange art as good art, but I suppose it's art, none the less. Most of all, I don't like art that grosses me out, and disgusts me, such as piles of pigeon turd, mounded up into a molten mess of gray goo, on a wooden board. In the town where I live, an "artist" was hired to decorate a small island. He took 15 foot dead trees, dug holes in the ground, and stuck them upside down with the roots sticking up, and called it art. I guess I have to agree that it was art, but it was gawd awful ugly. This is the kind of art, that I just shake my head at, when I find out how much it was commissioned for. (I'm glad I don't know how much our town paid for the upside down trees)
