Watteau's painted conversations : art, literature, and talk in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century France
Vidal, Mary1992
Books
Vidal shows how conversation was central to Watteau's images of sociability, providing the framework for figural and formal relationships in even his military, mythological, theatrical and religious works. She argues that Watteau's painted conversations represented conversation as an art of living.
