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.

I just keep painting till I feel like pinching. Then I know it's right.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir

You come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them all flat.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
Berthe Morisot was a painter full of eighteenth-century delicacy and grace in a word, the last elegant and 'feminine' artists since Fragonard.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir

One morning, one of us ran out of the black, it was the birth of Impressionism.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
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
Image
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
