More quotes by 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
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
To be an artist you must learn the laws of nature.
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
The advantage of growing old is that you become aware of your mistakes more quickly.
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
One must from time to time attempt things that are beyond one's capacity.
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
Out-of-doors there is a greater variety of light than in the studio, where the light is always the same. But that is just the trouble one is carried away by the light, and besides, one can't see what one is doing.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I had wrung impressionism dry and I finally came to the conclusion that I know neither how to paint nor how to draw.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The only reward one should offer an artist is to buy his work.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
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.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
One morning, one of us ran out of the black, it was the birth of Impressionism.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
We are in a period of searchers rather than of creators.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Art is about emotion if art needs to be explained it is no longer art.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Regularity, order, desire for perfection destroy art. Irregularity is the basis of all art.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I'm still afflicted with the malady of research. I don't like what I do, and I paint it out, and paint it out again. I hope this mania will come to an end... I'm like a child at school. The white page must always be evenly written and slap! bang! and there's a blot! I'm still blotting and I'm forty years old.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
You don't talk about paintings, you look at them.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
You come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them all flat.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I arrange my subject as I want it, then I go ahead and paint it, like a child.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
