Emerging out of Baroque as a more relaxed style, Rococo was dominant in interiors, decorative art, & painting throughout Europe in the 18th century. With sentiment & emotion prevailing over reason, Rococo was a dramatic & theatrical style. In the Parisian art world, gallant scenes by Watteau, Boucher & Fragonard predominated, along with the delicate still lifes & genre paintings of Chardin. In Venice, we find the magnificent cityscapes & veduta of Canaletto & Guardi, along with Tiepolo's brilliantly illuminated ceiling frescos. London society celebrated portraitists of stature such as Hogarth, Gainsborough, & Reynolds, while in Southern Germany & Austria, pious images of celestial serenity created by Asam & Troger spanned the church ceilings.

Roger Daltrey is the voice of a generation. That generation was the first to rebel, to step out of the shadows of the Second World War... to invent the concept of the teenager.

This is the story from his birth at the height of the Blitz, through tempestuous school days to his expulsion, age 15, for various crimes & misdemeanours within a strict school system. Thanks to Mr Kibblewhite, his authoritarian headmaster, it could all have ended there. The life of a factory worker beckoned.

But then came rock & roll. He made his first guitar from factory off-cuts. He formed a b&. The band became The Who
- Maximum R&B
- &, by luck & by sheer bloody-mindedness, Roger Daltrey became the frontman of one of the biggest rock bands on the planet.

This is the story of My Generation, Tommy & Quadrophenia, of smashed guitars, exploding drums, cars in swimming pools, fights, arrests & redecorated hotel rooms.
