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.

More quotes by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
To be an artist you must learn the laws of nature.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I have no rules and no methods... no secrets.
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
I consider that women who are authors, lawyers, and politicians are monsters.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Regularity, order, desire for perfection destroy art. Irregularity is the basis of all art.
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
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

Pierre-Auguste Renoir
How is it that in the so-called barbarian ages art was understood, whereas in our age of progress exactly the opposite is true?
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
To my mind, a picture should be something pleasant, cheerful, and pretty, yes pretty! There are too many unpleasant things in life as it is without creating still more of them.
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
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
I've never let one day go by without painting, or at least without drawing.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The modern architect is, generally speaking, art's greatest enemy.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Why should beauty be suspect?
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
My concern has always been to paint nudes as if they were some splendid fruit.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
One morning, one of us ran out of the black, it was the birth of Impressionism.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
