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
Regularity, order, desire for perfection destroy art. Irregularity is the basis of all art.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
It took me twenty years to discover painting: twenty years looking at nature, and above all, going to the Louvre.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir

You don't talk about paintings, you look at them.
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
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
The only reward one should offer an artist is to buy his work.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The modern architect is, generally speaking, art's greatest enemy.

To be an artist you must learn the laws of nature.
