More quotes by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I arrange my subject as I want it, then I go ahead and paint it, like a child.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Shall I tell you what I think are the two qualities of a work of art? First, it must be indescribable, and second, it must be inimitable.
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
An artist, under pain of oblivion, must have confidence in himself, and listen only to his real master: Nature.
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
The artist who uses the least of what is called imagination will be the greatest.
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
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 most important element in a picture cannot be defined.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I would never have taken up painting if women did not have breasts.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Photography freed painting from a lot of tiresome chores, starting with family portraits.
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 only reward one should offer an artist is to buy his work.
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
We are in a period of searchers rather than of creators.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Why should beauty be suspect?
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
Art is about emotion if art needs to be explained it is no longer art.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I consider that women who are authors, lawyers, and politicians are monsters.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
You come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them all flat.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
