These 18th-century painters preferred everyday life subjects, still-lifes, and landscape; Watteau invented the fête galante as a new picture type. Common to their work is attention to the materials of art: surfaces, textures, and glazes of paint; graphic range of chalk, ink, and pencil; an objectness that signals the artist's creative presence. Readings in contemporary theory and historical criticism frame an aesthetics of touch at odds with the eye-centered bias of Academic theory. Student presentations. Recommended: 121.
