More quotes by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I've never let one day go by without painting, or at least without drawing.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The most important element in a picture cannot be defined.
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
I consider that women who are authors, lawyers, and politicians are monsters.
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
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
Art is about emotion if art needs to be explained it is no longer art.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I arrange my subject as I want it, then I go ahead and paint it, like a child.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
It took me twenty years to discover painting: twenty years looking at nature, and above all, going to the Louvre.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Paint with joy - with the same joy that you would make love to a woman.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
It is not enough for a painter to be a clever craftsman he must love to 'caress' his canvas, too.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I had wrung impressionism dry and I finally came to the conclusion that I know neither how to paint nor how to draw.
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
To get someone to pose, you have to be very good friends and above all speak the language.
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
Regularity, order, desire for perfection destroy art. Irregularity is the basis of all art.
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
The modern architect is, generally speaking, art's greatest enemy.
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
Why should beauty be suspect?
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
