Berthe Morisot was a painter full of eighteenth-century delicacy and grace in a word, the last elegant and 'feminine' artists since Fragonard.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Photography freed painting from a lot of tiresome chores, starting with family portraits.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
To be an artist you must learn the laws of nature.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Nothing costs so little, goes so far, and accomplishes so much as a single act of merciful service.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
How is it that in the so-called barbarian ages art was understood, whereas in our age of progress exactly the opposite is true?
Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Pierre-Auguste Renoir
You come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them all flat.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The advantage of growing old is that you become aware of your mistakes more quickly.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The work of art must seize upon you, wrap you up in itself, carry you away. It is the means by which the artist conveys his passion it is the current which he puts forth which sweeps you along in his passion.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
And if out of a million visitors there is even one to whom art means something, that is enough to justify museums.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
When I've painted a woman's bottom so that I want to touch it, then [the painting] is finished.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
If you paint the leaf on a tree without using a model, your imagination will only supply you with a few leaves but Nature offers you millions, all on the same tree. No two leaves are exactly the same. The artist who paints only what is in his mind must very soon repeat himself.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
One morning, one of us ran out of the black, it was the birth of Impressionism.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
