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.

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
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
Nothing costs so little, goes so far, and accomplishes so much as a single act of merciful service.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The advantage of growing old is that you become aware of your mistakes more quickly.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
In a few generations you can breed a racehorse. The recipe for making a man like Delacroix is less well known.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The simplest subjects are the immortal ones.
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
Paint with joy - with the same joy that you would make love to a woman.
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

Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I would never have taken up painting if women did not have breasts.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
To get someone to pose, you have to be very good friends and above all speak the language.
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 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.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The modern architect is, generally speaking, art's greatest enemy.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Art is about emotion if art needs to be explained it is no longer art.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
You don't talk about paintings, you look at them.
