first born child...

The first time I heard then repeated with great delight, Rococo it was magical. Rococo refers to an 18th century style which is rooted in elegance, extravagance and playfulness. Artist gave up symmetry in order to achieve a somewhat capricious spirit. This spirit was marked with over the top motifs, shell like curves and a lightness that was representative of the optimism people felt. When I just repeat the word Rococo... I smirk a slight bit, feel quite...silly. Well, sometimes we all need to be.
