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.

More quotes by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I would never have taken up painting if women did not have breasts.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
One must from time to time attempt things that are beyond one's capacity.
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
There are some things in painting which cannot be explained, and that something is essential.
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
Why shouldn’t art be pretty? There are enough unpleasant things in the world.
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
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
The simplest subjects are the immortal ones.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Berthe Morisot was a painter full of eighteenth-century delicacy and grace in a word, the last elegant and 'feminine' artists since Fragonard.
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
The only reward one should offer an artist is to buy his work.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
With all their damned talk of modern painting, I've been forty years discovering that the queen of all colours is black!
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Be a good craftsman it won't stop you from being a genius.
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
A painter who has the feel of breasts and buttocks is saved.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
My concern has always been to paint nudes as if they were some splendid fruit.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
On the whole, the modern palette is the same as the one used by the artists of Pompeii... I mean it has not been enriched. The ancients used earths, ochres, and ivory-black - you can do anything with that palette.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I've never let one day go by without painting, or at least without drawing.
