More quotes by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
To get someone to pose, you have to be very good friends and above all speak the language.
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
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
The most important element in a picture cannot be defined.
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
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
The artist who uses the least of what is called imagination will be the greatest.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
What I like so much about Corot is that he can say everything with a bit of tree and it was Corot himself that I found [back] in the museum of Naples - in the simplicity of the work of Pompeii and the Egyptians. These priestesses in their silver-grey tunics are just like Corot's nymphs.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The work of art must seize upon you...carry you away.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I have arrived more definitely than any other painter during his lifetime honours shower upon me from every side artists pay me compliments on my work there are many people to whom my position must seem enviable ... But I don't seem to have a single real friend!
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I've never let one day go by without painting, or at least without drawing.
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
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
I've known painters who never did any good work because instead of painting their models they seduced them.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
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
A painter who has the feel of breasts and buttocks is saved.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
You come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them all flat.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
One must from time to time attempt things that are beyond one's capacity.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
You haven't time to think about the composition. In working directly from nature, the painter ends up by simply aiming at an effect, and not composing the picture at all and he soon becomes monotonous.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
