More quotes by Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Image
An artist, under pain of oblivion, must have confidence in himself, and listen only to his real master: Nature.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
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
Image
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
Image
A painter who has the feel of breasts and buttocks is saved.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
In painting, as in the other arts, there's not a single process, no matter how insignificant, which can be reasonably made into a formula. You come to nature with your theories, and she knocks them all flat.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
With all their damned talk of modern painting, I've been forty years discovering that the queen of all colours is black!
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
Be a good craftsman it won't stop you from being a genius.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
You come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them all flat.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
Regularity, order, desire for perfection destroy art. Irregularity is the basis of all art.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
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
Image
Why should beauty be suspect?
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
I've known painters who never did any good work because instead of painting their models they seduced them.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
On the whole, the modern palette is the same as the one used by the artists of Pompeii... I mean it has not been enriched. The ancients used earths, ochres, and ivory-black - you can do anything with that palette.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
There are some things in painting which cannot be explained, and that something is essential.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
Paint with joy - with the same joy that you would make love to a woman.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
The artist who uses the least of what is called imagination will be the greatest.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
I would never have taken up painting if women did not have breasts.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
The only reward one should offer an artist is to buy his work.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
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
Image
I want a red to be sonorous, to sound like a bell. If it doesn't turn out that way, I add more reds and other colors until I get it.
