Funded Activity Summary

A Playful Aesthetic: Reinterpreting Rococo visual culture by studying the serious pursuits of its themes, forms and processes of interactive engagement. My aim is to produce a new understanding of the role of amusement within the visual culture of eighteenth-century Europe. This will be the first comprehensive study to reconnect the diverting forms of Rococo art, architecture and garden design with the aesthetic theories of the period. The project will provide original critical perspectives on the play of forms and emblems in western art. It will also offer an innovative model for recovering processes of reception to indicate how visual experiences contribute to the production of culture.
