  • 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 did not paint figures in a court masque - he did not come from that social class.
  • a painting should be both cheerful and pretty
  • Renoir had little patience with the extremes of the European avant-garde
  • Yet Renoir was above all else a painter of the ordinary people of Paris
  • Renoir reacted to his diminishing powers after 20 years of martyrdom to pain, by painting bodies full of vitality and sensuality
  • The first biography of Renoir was actually written by Julius Meier-Graefe

  • The Impressionists are the artists in France during the 1870s.
  • They wanted their painterly technique to be open-ended
  • 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

  • Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French pronunciation: [ʁənwaʁ]; February 25, 1841 – December 3, 1919) was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style.
  • born in Limoges, Haute-Vienne, France,

  • ...23 more annotations...
  • In 1862 he began studying art under Charles Gleyre in Paris.
  • 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.
  • In 1890 he married Aline Victorine Charigot
  • The Renoirs had three sons, one of whom, Jean, became a filmmaker of note and another, Pierre, became a stage and film actor.
  • Around 1892, Renoir developed rheumatoid arthritis.
  • It has often been reported that in the advanced stages of his arthritis, he painted by having a brush strapped to his paralyzed fingers
  • but this is erroneous;
  • 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.
  • Renoir's paintings are notable for their vibrant light and saturated color,
  • . The female nude was one of his primary subjects.
  • colorism
  • realism
  • movement
  • 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
  • This is sometimes called his "Ingres period"
  • A prolific artist, he made several thousand paintings
  • is at the Barnes Foundation
  • largest collection of his works
