Sometimes
having a defined style for too long will make you unfashionable
This
is Jean-Honoré Fragonard
French
rococo painter, who’s initial talent, was noted by the lawyer to who he was an
apprentice to. To this insistence he was sent to be apprentice to Boucher. once
his students where complete the tour Italy. At the begging he started focusing
on landscapes. though marriage he became “fashionable”. However he struggled with
his style in a neoclassic period. his admiration to Rembrandt and Hans is
clearly shown in his portraits. he went though different periods from picturing
domestic pictures, but the war came and his work was not accepted after wards. his
paintings have a soft touch of hedonism, with pearly white skin and soft pastel
colors, I like the fantasy aspect in his paintings, they are joyful and serine,
but I’m so surprised by his ability shown in his sketches its astounding.
