More quotes by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
You come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them all flat.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I just keep painting till I feel like pinching. Then I know it's right.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The simplest subjects are the immortal ones.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The ideas come afterwards, when the picture is finished.
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
The modern architect is, generally speaking, art's greatest enemy.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Regularity, order, desire for perfection destroy art. Irregularity is the basis of all art.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
What I like so much about Corot is that he can say everything with a bit of tree and it was Corot himself that I found [back] in the museum of Naples - in the simplicity of the work of Pompeii and the Egyptians. These priestesses in their silver-grey tunics are just like Corot's nymphs.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The artist who uses the least of what is called imagination will be the greatest.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I would never have taken up painting if women did not have breasts.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
You don't talk about paintings, you look at them.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Be a good craftsman it won't stop you from being a genius.
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
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
When I've painted a woman's bottom so that I want to touch it, then [the painting] is finished.
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
Photography freed painting from a lot of tiresome chores, starting with family portraits.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The work of art must seize upon you...carry you away.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
There are some things in painting which cannot be explained, and that something is essential.
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
