Rococo Style
[ send me this essay ]
The Rococo period of the early eighteenth century is generally associated with opulence and frivolity. It is often passed over as 'the period between the baroque and the Modern'. It is seldom given it's rightful place in history as a productive era of great masters in all of the arts. It was the era of Tchaikovsky and the vaulted music of this master matches the atmosphere of the era. This 13 page paper argues that embellishments of the Rococo style were added to existing structures in order to give a sense of ownership to the past and to render a feeling of hope for the future. To say that the Rococo style was 'frivolous' is to do deep disservice to those who lived during the period and to discount the importance of their daily lives in the context of history. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
