Although Renoir first started exhibiting paintings at the Paris Salon in 1864,[5] recognition did not come for another ten years,

Renoir experienced his initial acclaim when six of his paintings hung in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874.
-
Renoir convalesced for six weeks in Algeria after contracting pneumonia, which would cause permanent damage to his respiratory system.[9]
-
While living and working in Montmartre, Renoir employed as a model Suzanne Valadon, who posed for him (The Bathers, 1885–87; Dance at Bougival, 1883)[10] and many of his fellow painters while studying their techniques; eventually she became one of the leading painters of the day.
-
The Renoirs had three sons, one of whom, Jean, became a filmmaker of note and another, Pierre, became a stage and film actor.
-
It has often been reported that in the advanced stages of his arthritis, he painted by having a brush strapped to his paralyzed fingers
-
In 1919, Renoir visited the Louvre to see his paintings hanging with the old masters. He died in the village of Cagnes-sur-Mer, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, on December 3.

In the late 1860s, through the practice of painting light and water en plein air (in the open air), he and his friend Claude Monet discovered that the color of shadows is not brown or black, but the reflected color of the objects surrounding them, an effect today known as diffuse reflection
-
Several pairs of paintings exist in which Renoir and Monet, working side-by-side, depicted the same scenes (La Grenouillère, 1869).[16][17]
-
The works of his early maturity were typically Impressionist snapshots of real life, full of sparkling colour and light. By the mid 1880s, however, he had broken with the movement to apply a more disciplined, formal technique to portraits and figure paintings

Auguste Renoir and Monet worked closely together during the late 1860s, painting similar scenes of popular river resorts and views of a bustling Paris. Renoir was by nature more solid than Monet, and while Monet fixed his attentions on the ever-changing patterns of nature, Renoir was particularly entranced by people and often painted friends and lovers.

he deliberately sets out to give the impression, the sensation of something, its generalities, its glancing life.

EImpressionism - An art movement and style of painting that started in France during the 1860s. Impressionist artists tried to paint candid glimpses of their subjects showing the effects of sunlight on things at different times of day. The leaders of this movement were: Camille Pissarro (French, 1830-1903), Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917), Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926), and Pierre Renoir (French, 1841-1919). Some of the early work of Paul Cézanne (French, 1839-1906) fits into this style, though his later work so transcends it that it belongs to another movement known as Post-Impressionism. Examples of Impressionist artworks are displayed on four pages: Camille Pissarro (French, 1830-1903), Edouard Manet (French, 1832-1883), Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917), Paul Cézanne (French, 1839-1906), and Alfred Sisley (French, 1839-1899) Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926) Berthe Morisot (French, 1841-1895), Frédéric Bazille (French, 1841-1870), and Pierre Auguste Renoir (French, 1841-1919), Gustave Caillebotte (French, 1848-1894) The American Impressionists: Mary Cassatt (American, 1845-1926), Julian Alden Weir (American, 1852-1919), John Henry Twachtman (American, 1853-1902), Childe Hassam (American, 1859-1935), Frederick Carl Frieseke (American, 1874-1939), and others google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad); Here's a device to help students remember the issues important to most Impressionists: E Everyday life L Light B Brushstrokes O Outdoor settings W Weather and atmosphere

No other artist has ever succeeded in clothing the human form so extravagantly with gorgeous colours, and few other painters could catch, as Renoir does so wonderfully, at the fleeting moment. You find it with his paintings that he made during the summers of the 1860s of La Grenouillere (or “The Frog Pond”)

Renoir reacted to his diminishing powers after 20 years of martyrdom to pain, by painting bodies full of vitality and sensuality

the frog pond, has all these ingredients - a sketch-like painting, which to contemporaries seemed unfinished, no carved-out details, a glitter of sun reflecting the movements of the water, the boats partly truncated to convey a sense of the passing moment, and the individual details toned down in favour of the overall picture

In 1855, Renoir's father, a modest tailor from Limoges established in Paris since 1845, puts his 14 years old son Auguste at work in a porcelain factory, in the "Rue du Temple" street, where the adolescent boy is initiated with painting on plates.
-
Throughout these early years, Renoir made frequent visits at lunch time to the Louvre, where he studied the art of former French masters, particularly those of the 18th century Antoine Watteau, François Boucher, and Jean Honoré Fragonard. His deep respect for these artists informed his own painting throughout his career.
-
Eight years later Renoir had enough money to enter in April 1862 the School of Fine Arts. Parallel to the courses of the School, he also attends the private Workshop of Charles Gleyre where he will become friendly with his school-fellows Alfred Sisley , Frederic Bazille and Claude Monet.

Impressionism, French Impressionnisme, a major movement, first in painting and later in music, that developed chiefly in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Impressionist painting comprises the work produced between about 1867 and 1886 by a group of artists who shared a set of related approaches and techniques. The most conspicuous characteristic of Impressionism was an attempt to accurately and objectively record visual reality in terms of transient effects of light and colour.

The impressionist style of painting is characterized chiefly by concentration on the general impression produced by a scene or object and the use of unmixed primary colors and small strokes to simulate actual reflected light.
