Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Why should beauty be suspect?
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
An artist, under pain of oblivion, must have confidence in himself, and listen only to his real master: Nature.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir
One morning, one of us ran out of the black, it was the birth of Impressionism.
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
The ideas come afterwards, when the picture is finished.
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
The advantage of growing old is that you become aware of your mistakes more quickly.
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
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
