There's a Watteau exhibition at the Met, and Slate have a handy little slideshow up as an introduction/primer to the artist. Watteau's work has always struck me as a tad too - what's the word? - artsy-fartsy. But there's a menace lurking beneath it, which I like a lot... and he was pretty much spot-on when it came to painting movement and painting musicians.
In a parallel universe, he toured with the Stones.
