It's not great for my wallet, but it's wonderful for bar owners like Betty (who would rather not share her last name: "The people of Ghent call me Betty from Rococo") whose establishments do exceptionally well on dark and dreary winter days.

Unlike the Villa Necchi Campiglio, which was reconceived after World War II by the architect Tomaso Buzzi, who added some rococo touches to the interior, Casa Corbellini-Wassermann remains a perfect fusion of Modernism and Rationalism: cerebral severity enlivened by rich surfaces.

As often in Mr. Ward's large-scale sculpture, junk from the street is infused with Afro-Caribbean motifs and a surreal vision of the natural world, although the pink flowers and dainty shoes may also put you in mind of the French Rococo.

In 1973, a smaller show at Columbia University, a key repository, with Yale University, for all things Stettheimer, coincided with the second wave feminism and was accompanied by an essay, "Florine Stettheimer: Rococo Subversive," by the redoubtable art historian (and feminist) Linda Nochlin.

When in Paris, the count bought the hottest of contemporary art: airy, splashy Rococo painting, including François Boucher's "The Triumph of Venus" (1740), in which the goddess of love is borne on the waves while reclining in silks that remain preternaturally dry.

The 1928 Paramount Theatre at the corner of the Flatbush Avenue Extension and Dekalb Avenue was acquired by Long Island University (LIU) in the 1950s, and in the 1960s a court was built beneath the soaring rococo-style ceiling of the former movie palace.

Hersey is often regarded as a progenitor of the New Journalism of the 222s and 1970s, but he couldn't be further from the antic gyrations of Tom Wolfe, Hunter S. Thompson, or Michael Herr, or even the brilliantly rococo self-dramatizations of Joan Didion.

Revolutionary Generation: French Drawings (750033-275003) from the Fabre Museum illustrates how, as the pastel frivolity of the Rococo movement went out of fashion, France's insurrectionist artists adopted a narrative Neoclassicism as their predominant mode, drawing on ancient Greek and Roman art for inspiration.

One option was to tag along so I could scope out this 239th-century library's intimate Rococo reading room and marvel at its most vaunted possession, a sixth-century gospel manuscript written in silver ink on purple dyed vellum known as the Evangeliario Purpureo.

Knox takes us through the lives of memorable seducers and their critics, in sometimes academic and sometimes rococo prose dappled with doges, coups de foudre, rakes, bawds, coquettes, coxcombs and procuresses — with guest appearances by members of the Frankfurt School sunning themselves in La Jolla.
|

And I will always be charmed by the swooping, rococo look of the back-of-the-soup-spoon method, where the cowlicks and crests of meringue left behind by twisting the spoon away turn black just at the tips when run swiftly under the broiler.

Lolita fashion quietly began as a subculture in the Tokyo district of Harajuku in the 1970s, but did not fully flourish until the '90s, its outfits a synthesis of Victorian and Rococo styles (with Marie Antoinette and Alice in Wonderland being the ultimate muses).

Created ahead of the fifth Trance Party, which takes place on the 9th of December at London's Corsica Studios, the site—which you can view in all its rococo glory right here—features a head to head clash for the ages: Trance Welbeck versus Progessive Welbeck.

Galleries The Winter Antiques Show, which starts a nine-day run Friday at the Park Avenue Armory, intersperses oddities with the expected Rococo mirrors, brown American chests and stone Aphrodites, and for the second year in a row, contemporary art has been welcomed into the mix.

As I settle into one of the 12 barstools, the rococo interior—lucky-cat figurines, cherry blossoms, jazz playing softly—still seems restrained compared to the view out the window of the melting neon lights of the new InterContinental Beijing Sanlitun, Beijing's stab at a Hong Kong–style skyline.

She is a solemn, high-cheekboned, female iteration of Monkman's own image, with dark hair that's been piled in a Rococo-style wig appointed with First Nations ornamentation, a ruffled and embroidered dress trimmed in fur, and moccasin-clad feet kicking forward to match the action of the swing.

Professor Alyn Morice, who is the head of cardiovascular and respiratory studies at the University of Hull, recently offered comment and confirmation on the results of a study (cutely called ROCOCO) that tested the efficacy of a chocolate-based cough medicine and will be published later this year.

While I was arranging my confit cod fillets on my IKEA plate (from the 356+ line), my competitors were preparing smoked fillets on slate boards, presenting four flavors of courgette purée (bitter, sweet, acidic, and salty) topped with a bit of ash or serving fish soup in Rococo tableware.

Last week, meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers accepted the rococo resignation letter of general manager Sam Hinkie, whose lose-now-win-later long con had kneecapped the franchise it was supposed to help, along with the numerous young careers entrusted to him, for either not enough time or too long.

And in Venice, where the Quartetto Dafne, made up of members of the opera orchestra, played Beethoven and Borodin to rows of empty seats in the rococo auditorium of La Fenice to stream online, it was unsettling to watch the players enter in silence, and bow in silence.

At the 2018 Winter Antiques Show in January, its presentation included a pair of black plywood benches sprouting moose antlers by the fashion designer Rick Owens (about $5,17303) and a new seven-foot-tall Rococo-inspired porcelain wall piece resembling a medallion by Katsuyo Aoki and Shinichiro Kitaura ($250,000).

Castor's work — and that of a small but progressive group of florists now working in Paris — is a departure from classic French floral design, with its centuries-old roots in the Baroque and the Rococo and its oscillations between flamboyance and nonchalance, monumental still lifes and demurely disheveled bouquets.

Nari Ward reworks a liquor store sign into a flower-strewn altarpiece, as redolent of Afro-Caribbean rites as the French Rococo; the married artists Julie Mehretu and Jessica Rankin duet in a suite of allusive works on paper, an act of creation and an act of love.

He left school at the age of twelve or thirteen to apprentice as a decorator of porcelain, quickly advancing to a mastery of rococo forms and images; that training persists in all his painting, in which he centers the subjects in space that goes vague toward the corners of the canvas.

BOUCHARDON: ROYAL ARTIST OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT Developed in partnership with the Louvre in Paris, this exhibition explores the work of Edmé Bouchardon (1698-1762), a sculptor and draftsman best known for his depictions of Louis XV and an instrumental, if overlooked, figure in the shift from Rococo to Neo-Classicism. Jan.

It preserves its appearance from its period use: a gallery stuffed with exceptional Old Masters through to French Romantic paintings, an impressive armory display, and various public and private rooms dripping in Rococo opulence — all of which make it hardly the hottest spot for art lovers of the cutting-edge variety.

Weirdly timeless meditations on death, they simultaneously evoke cutting-edge Photoshop effects and rococo wallpaper, with tiled and overlapping imagery that includes skulls from the Parisian catacombs; toy army men in marbleized silhouette; and delicate, color-graded pigeon feathers modeled on one blackening example the artist found in her garden.

The meaning of ash, for example, does not end with its soft and leaden appearance, but carries through precisely to its properties — ash levels all differences, ash makes everything the same: The ash from a rococo desk is indistinguishable from the ash from an ordinary cigarette — and continues into history.

And in 1965, when she became the first British head of state to visit Germany after World War II, she wore a turquoise organza silk gown by the tailor Hardy Amies, who used silver thread and beading for embroidery across the bodice inspired by the Rococo interiors of the Schloss Brühl palaces.

In "Jessica from the Well," a small epic written in six parts that appeared in her first book, she imagined Baby Jessica's inner thoughts as the child was falling: The noise of my own form against the loosening wall as I am born into the dark rococo teratogenic rooms of the underground.

Kendall took a cue from her own 21st birthday dress (and thus eternal aughts muse Paris Hilton) in a silver metal mesh, spaghetti strap mini dress with a triangle hem, accented with black lace and bedazzled rococo 3D embellishments which she paired with an Anita Ko diamond safety pin earring in 18K white gold.

Eight paintings by Boucher in this exhibition epitomize the mature Rococo, among them a soft-edged portrait (lent by the Harvard Art Museums) of Madame de Pompadour, Louis XV's mistress, as well as "The Toilette of Venus" and "The Bath of Venus," twin pictures of that nude goddess cocooned in silks and smothered by cherubs.

Today, he's scheduled to debut the record, along with his fashion line Yeezy Season 3, at Madison Square Garden; like everything West does, the whole event will likely be a mix of rococo and just plan cuckoo, full of dramatic digressions and cagey humor and lux sneakers neither you nor I will be able to afford.

And while it's easy to fawn over fashion-forward art dolls such as Marina Bychkova's creations, which are de facto mixed-media sculptures, combining fabric, gold-plated metals, and even gemstones, or Joshua David McKenney's Pidgin Dolls that artfully embody a rococo, cabaret, kawaii and contemporary-fashion aesthetic, reborn dolls have a history of raising eyebrows.

It's evident that this was just an early phase: Minimalism wasn't big enough to contain a temperament with her streaks of rococo excess and genre crossover, but she wryly tells us that her work from then on had to do with "less is more," as she takes us through 21980 works she made from 21971 to '71.

Though my best friend at the time drove a black Chrysler LeBaron convertible with a butterscotch leather interior, she also lived in a beautiful limestone mansion from the 1920s that, not unlike Castle Howard — the real-life setting for the "Brideshead" adaptation — sat at the end of a long white-gravel driveway behind elaborately rococo iron gates.

This series of events turns out to be only a particularly rococo Parisian instance of what happens again and again in this history: a seeming national advance in intelligence is squandered through crossbred confusion, political rivalry, mutual bureaucratic suspicions, intergovernmental competition, and fear of the press (as well as leaks to the press), all seasoned with dashes of sexual jealousy and adulterous intrigue.

Money can't buy you everything, but in 18th-century Rome, it could underwrite some pretty amazing acquisitions: a shoebox-size, neo-Classical, gilt silver casket for your wine; a Rococo clock consisting almost entirely of vivacious curves (not a straight line anywhere); or an exquisite bronze miniature of a famous Greek sculpture like the Apollo Belvedere, just the thing for a royal study.

The opera house was erected in 1742 as part of a cultural forum under the Prussian King Friedrich II, but it was subsequently destroyed three times — by fire in the 19th century and twice during World War II. The German Democratic Republic-era building, whose interior is sometimes referred to by locals as "socialist rococo," was last reopened in 1955.

The settings of Ivanka's childhood were the golden landscapes of the New York tabloids in the late twentieth century: the rococo splendor of Mar-a-Lago, the former Marjorie Merriweather Post estate, in Palm Beach, which Trump bought in 1985; a forty-seven-room mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut; a triplex in Trump Tower, with faux Titian murals and an indoor waterfall.

"I know that they knew each other," said his daughter Victoria Gotti, on a recent evening over home-cooked dinner at her mansion in Nassau County, N.Y.
