During the eighteenth century, the Rococo style became predominant in European art and architecture. The style emphasized bright colors, elaborate ornamentation, and the use of playful designs and subject matter. While Rococo artists dominated Europe for decades, since the nineteenth century the style has been widely ridiculed.
Perhaps the most historically interesting reason that Rococo art lost popularity is that Rococo artists often worked for aristocratic patrons, decorating mansions and palaces. However, the late eighteenth century saw major political revolutions in Europe emphasizing social equality. Rococo artists, meanwhile, created overly elaborate, expensive art for wealthy audiences who exploited or ignored the working class. Rococo art came to symbolize the arrogance and vanity of the old ruling classes.
Rococo was also condemned for its frivolous subject matter. Later artistic movements often put great emphasis on creating art with positive social messages. Rococo artists, in contrast, tended to focus on non-serious subject matter, such as aristocrats playing games in the countryside or lovers on picnics. The artists’ lack of engagement with serious philosophical ideas meant their work had little depth or sophistication.
Finally, the Rococo’s emphasis on the use of expensive materials to create an illusion of opulence has also fallen into disfavor. Today, elements such as gilded surfaces and beaming cherubs, hallmarks of Rococo art, seem more gaudy than inspired. For generations of viewers, the style has come to epitomize the idea of “style over substance.” Its use of asymmetrical designs and emphasis on melodramatic uses of light and color often create an over-the-top rather than impressive effect
The read and the lecture are both about Rocco's artistic style. The article's author feels that artists lost interest in Rocco's style. The lecturer disputes the claims made in the article. His position is that the article shows only one side of Rocco's style.
According to the reading, Rocco's style was for Aristocratic partons. Meanwhile, Europe at that time was looking for equality between social classes. The lecturer challenges this argument. She claims that the article looks down on Rocco's style. Additionally, she points out that Rocco's art was not exclusive to wealthy audiences. Churches in Europe used this style to decorate their buildings.
Secondly, the author suggests that Rocco's style was not serious art and had no meaning nor deliver any messages. In the article, it is said that contemporary artists tried to deliver messages through their works. The lecturer, however, asserts that Rocco's art was not superficial. She says that many paints used Rocco's style focused on tiny details and expressed faces' impressions. Moreover, she claims that Rocco's style explores the subject with sensitivity.
Finally, the author posits that Rocco's style used expensive materials. The author contended that nowadays, art focuses more on the style over the substance. In contrast, the lecturer's stance is that Rocco's style might concentrate on the substance, but it does not mean ignoring the style. She notes that Rocco's style depended on mixing colors and multimedia to express the artistic style.
