More quotes by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Art is about emotion if art needs to be explained it is no longer art.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Out-of-doors there is a greater variety of light than in the studio, where the light is always the same. But that is just the trouble one is carried away by the light, and besides, one can't see what one is doing.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I consider that women who are authors, lawyers, and politicians are monsters.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The simplest subjects are the immortal ones.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I have no rules and no methods... no secrets.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The most important element in a picture cannot be defined.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Why shouldn’t art be pretty? There are enough unpleasant things in the world.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
What is to be done about these literary people, who will never understand that painting is a craft and that the material side comes first? The ideas come afterwards, when the picture is finished.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Nothing costs so little, goes so far, and accomplishes so much as a single act of merciful service.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The artist who uses the least of what is called imagination will be the greatest.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The only reward one should offer an artist is to buy his work.
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
They tell you that a tree is only a combination of chemical elements. I prefer to believe that God created it, and that it is inhabited by a nymph.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I have a horror of the word 'flesh', which has become so shopworn.Why not 'meat'whilethey're about it? What I like is skin, a young girl's skin that is pink and shows that she has a good circulation.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
You don't talk about paintings, you look at them.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
An artist, under pain of oblivion, must have confidence in himself, and listen only to his real master: Nature.
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
I arrange my subject as I want it, then I go ahead and paint it, like a child.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I would never have taken up painting if women did not have breasts.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
