Fragonard at the temporary Frick. Photo: Joseph Coscia Jr./The Frick Collection Masterpiece for masterpiece, the Frick is the best small museum in the United States for western painting before 1900. The institution reopens today in the Whitney Museum’s former flagship on Madison Avenue, where its art will be on view for the next two years while its own building is being renovated. On hand is enough great work to keep you absorbed for a lifetime, including four Piero della Francescas; three Vermeers; two Turners; and works by Goya, Tintoretto, Duccio, Constable, El Greco, Ingres, Titian, Tiepolo, Chardin, Watteau, Boucher, Memling, Manet, and Veronese (who used bodies of female insects, Hungarian copper carbonate, and resinous bug secretions to amp up his voluptuous color), as well as two of the most philosophical paintings in this country, Rembrandt’s late self-portrait and Velazquez’s Phillip II. We stand agog before the hallucinogenic majesty of these pictures as one would gawking at the desert on mescaline. Yet, amid these riches, there is, I am embarrassed to admit, one series of paintings in particular that stands out from the others for me, and it’s Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s The Progress of Love ( 1771–73). It’s embarrassing because Fragonard is the chief representative of (some would say culprit in) the most reviled period in all of art history: the Rococo. The period may be said to have commenced on September 1, 1715, the day that France’s “Sun King,” Louis XIV, died. It was like a social iceberg melted: Overnight, stultifying court etiquette and social hierarchies began loosening. The style ceased to exist on July 14, 1789, as crowds stormed the Bastille and the French Revolution began: a definitive ending, an art-historical extinction event. In the years between, Rococo imparted something to western painting that had never quite been there before: the unbearable lightness and gladdening mercy of being alive, expressed in loose brushwork at … [Read more...] about The Frick on Madison Finally Lets You See Fragonard Up Close
