More quotes by 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
I have no rules and no methods... no secrets.
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
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
There are some things in painting which cannot be explained, and that something is essential.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I arrange my subject as I want it, then I go ahead and paint it, like a child.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The simplest subjects are the immortal ones.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I would never have taken up painting if women did not have breasts.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Regularity, order, desire for perfection destroy art. Irregularity is the basis of all art.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The advantage of growing old is that you become aware of your mistakes more quickly.
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
Art is about emotion if art needs to be explained it is no longer art.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The artist who uses the least of what is called imagination will be the greatest.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Pierre-Auguste Renoir
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
To be an artist you must learn the laws of nature.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I've known painters who never did any good work because instead of painting their models they seduced them.
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
I have a horror of the word 'flesh', which has become so shopworn.Why not 'meat'whilethey're about it? What I like is skin, a young girl's skin that is pink and shows that she has a good circulation.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Why shouldn’t art be pretty? There are enough unpleasant things in the world.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
