    Le Rococo

    February 25, 2022 / 0 Comments

    En associant le mot rocaille, référence aux formes alambiquées des coquillages, à l’italien baroco, les Français donnèrent naissance au terme de « rococo ». Apparu au début du XVIIIe siècle, il s’étendit rapidement à l’ensemble de l’Europe.

    Die Rokoko-Kunst

    February 24, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Das Wort Rokoko leitet sich wahrscheinlich von dem vermutlich in französischen Emigrantenkreisen aufgekommenen Wort "rocaille" (Muschel) ab. Diese Kunstrichtung entwickelte sich zu Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts und breitete sich schnell in ganz Europa aus.

    Rococo

    February 22, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Deriving from the French word rocaille, in reference to the curved forms of shellfish, and the Italian barocco, the French created the term ‘Rococo’. Appearing at the beginning of the 18th century, it rapidly spread to the whole of Europe. Extravagant and light, Rococo responded perfectly to the spontaneity of the aristocracy of the time. In many aspects, this art was linked to its predecessor, Baroque, and it is thus also referred to as late Baroque style.

    Fragonard: Libertinage et érotisme au XVIIIe siècle

    August 7, 2015 / 0 Comments

    Goût de la séduction, plaisirs de la vie, liberté sexuelle… bienvenue dans le XVIIIe siècle, ou la pudeur laisse place à l’expression du désir ! Après la mort de Louis XIV en 1715, les mœurs changent et la tendance à parler, écrire, représenter, en somme à dévoiler les plaisirs de la vie se développe. Le libertinage, déjà bien ancré dans la société depuis le XVIIe siècle devient alors un genre littéraire particulier. Laclos et ses Liaisons dangereuses, Mirabeau ou encore le maître de la pensée libertine j’entends le Marquis de Sade, publient des œuvres purement érotiques, représentant l’extrême de la pensée libertine. Cette tendance touche également  le monde de la peinture.…

    Fragonard: Child’s play / it’s not all fun and games

    July 10, 2015 / 0 Comments

    “Ready or not, here I come!” Children and adults alike are known to utter this phrase when messing around and playing playground games.  From personal experience it was mostly in “hide and seek” but we also used it in “blind man’s bluff”. Blind man’s bluff (originally called Blindman’s Buff) has been around for thousands of years and has been traced as far back as Ancient Greece. Although it varies from playground to playground, the simple nature of the game means that is played all across the word. The game also lends its name to an 18th century painting by French artist Fragonard. This typical Rococo painting consists of two young…

    Liebe ist…

    May 31, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Einerseits ein tief verankertes, menschliches Grundbedürfnis, das uns alle vereint,und andererseits eines der wohl rätselhaftesten und unerklärlichsten Phänomene im Universum. Die Auffassungen darüber, was wir unter Liebe verstehen dürfen, könnten kaum weiter auseinander gehen. Dies mag nicht zuletzt an den vielfältigen Ausprägungen liegen, in denen uns diese auf geistiger, körperlicherund seelischer Anziehung beruhende Emotion begegnet. Denn die Annahme, dass sich Liebe allein auf zwischenmenschliche Gefühlsbeziehungen beschränkt, ist weit gefehlt. Das Spektrum an potentiellen Adressaten für den Überschuss an persönlicher Zuneigung ist schier unbegrenzt. Wussten Sie beispielsweise, dass Agalmatophilie als wissenschaftlicher Fachbegriff die starke Affinität und sexuelle Anziehung zu (überwiegend nackten) Statuen bezeichnet? Oder dass auch die Liebe zu Teddybären, die…
