More quotes by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
With all their damned talk of modern painting, I've been forty years discovering that the queen of all colours is black!
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Why shouldn’t art be pretty? There are enough unpleasant things in the world.
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
My concern has always been to paint nudes as if they were some splendid fruit.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The ideas come afterwards, when the picture is finished.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The most important element in a picture cannot be defined.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
There are some things in painting which cannot be explained, and that something is essential.
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
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

Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I just keep painting till I feel like pinching. Then I know it's right.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
A painter who has the feel of breasts and buttocks is saved.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
In painting, as in the other arts, there's not a single process, no matter how insignificant, which can be reasonably made into a formula. You come to nature with your theories, and she knocks them all flat.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Art is about emotion if art needs to be explained it is no longer art.
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
I consider that women who are authors, lawyers, and politicians are monsters.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The artist who uses the least of what is called imagination will be the greatest.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
To get someone to pose, you have to be very good friends and above all speak the language.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The work of art must seize upon you...carry you away.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I would never have taken up painting if women did not have breasts.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
