More quotes by 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
Regularity, order, desire for perfection destroy art. Irregularity is the basis of all art.
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
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
A painter who has the feel of breasts and buttocks is saved.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I consider that women who are authors, lawyers, and politicians are monsters.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Photography freed painting from a lot of tiresome chores, starting with family portraits.
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
An artist, under pain of oblivion, must have confidence in himself, and listen only to his real master: Nature.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I arrange my subject as I want it, then I go ahead and paint it, like a child.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Nothing costs so little, goes so far, and accomplishes so much as a single act of merciful service.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I want a red to be sonorous, to sound like a bell. If it doesn't turn out that way, I add more reds and other colors until I get it.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I have no rules and no methods... no secrets.
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
The modern architect is, generally speaking, art's greatest enemy.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
One can thus state, without fear of being wrong, that every truly artistic production has been conceived and executed according to the principle of irregularity.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The ideas come afterwards, when the picture is finished.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
If you paint the leaf on a tree without using a model, your imagination will only supply you with a few leaves but Nature offers you millions, all on the same tree. No two leaves are exactly the same. The artist who paints only what is in his mind must very soon repeat himself.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. [On Leonardo Da Vinci]
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The artist who uses the least of what is called imagination will be the greatest.
