Why shouldn’t art be pretty? There are enough unpleasant things in the world.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
We are in a period of searchers rather than of creators.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
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
Image
It is not enough for a painter to be a clever craftsman he must love to 'caress' his canvas, too.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
There are some things in painting which cannot be explained, and that something is essential.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir

You haven't time to think about the composition. In working directly from nature, the painter ends up by simply aiming at an effect, and not composing the picture at all and he soon becomes monotonous.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
Art is about emotion if art needs to be explained it is no longer art.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
You come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them all flat.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
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
Image
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.

I have no rules and no methods... no secrets.
