More quotes by 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
The only reward one should offer an artist is to buy his work.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
They tell you that a tree is only a combination of chemical elements. I prefer to believe that God created it, and that it is inhabited by a nymph.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Art is about emotion if art needs to be explained it is no longer art.
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

Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The artist who uses the least of what is called imagination will be the greatest.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Be a good craftsman it won't stop you from being a genius.
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
When I've painted a woman's bottom so that I want to touch it, then [the painting] is finished.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
You come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them all flat.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The advantage of growing old is that you become aware of your mistakes more quickly.
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
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
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Progress in painting, there's no such thing! ...One day I went and changed the yellow on my palette. Well, the result was, I floundered for ten years!
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Shall I tell you what I think are the two qualities of a work of art? First, it must be indescribable, and second, it must be inimitable.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
One must from time to time attempt things that are beyond one's capacity.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Why shouldn’t art be pretty? There are enough unpleasant things in the world.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
