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
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.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
The ideas come afterwards, when the picture is finished.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
One can thus state, without fear of being wrong, that every truly artistic production has been conceived and executed according to the principle of irregularity.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
The work of art must seize upon you...carry you away.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
I consider that women who are authors, lawyers, and politicians are monsters.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
The modern architect is, generally speaking, art's greatest enemy.
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
I just keep painting till I feel like pinching. Then I know it's right.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
The only reward one should offer an artist is to buy his work.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
One must from time to time attempt things that are beyond one's capacity.
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
Paint with joy - with the same joy that you would make love to a woman.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
Why should beauty be suspect?
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
To be an artist you must learn the laws of nature.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
We are in a period of searchers rather than of creators.
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
I've known painters who never did any good work because instead of painting their models they seduced them.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
The so-called 'discoveries' of the Impressionists could not have been unknown to the old masters and if they made no use of them, it was because all great artists have renounced the use of effects. And in simplifying nature, they made it all the greater.

To get someone to pose, you have to be very good friends and above all speak the language.
