Jean-Honoreacute; Fragonard was a French painter and printmaker whose late Rococo manner was distinguished by remarkable facility; exuberance; and hedonism. Among his most popular works are genre paintings conveying an atmosphere of intimacy and veiled erotic. Fragonard has been bracketed with Watteau as one of the two great poetic painters of the 18th century in France. A prodigiously active artist; he produced more than 550 paintings; several thousand drawings; and 35 etchings. His style; based primarily on that of Rubens; was rapid; vigorous; and fluent; never tight or fussy like that of so many of his contemporaries. Although the greater part of his active life was passed during the Neoclassical period; he continued to paint in a Rococo idiom until shortly before the French Revolution.

1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. If its your towns Old Home Celebration; then maybe....By N.H. BookwormFound this book to cover only a few NH towns old home celebrations; which was disappointing.A "lazy mans" coverage at best...wish they had been more specific with the title. I may not even keep the book as its pretty shallow and not even a good reference.
