Pierre-Auguste Renoir French painter originally associated with the Impressionist movement. His early works were typically Impressionist snapshots of real life, full of sparkling colour and light. By the mid-1880s, however, Renoir had broken with the movement to apply a more disciplined, formal technique to portraits and figure paintings, particularly of women (e.g., Bathers, 1884-87). |

In 1854 Pierre-Auguste Renoir began work as a painter in a porcelain factory in Paris, gaining experience with the light, fresh colors that were to distinguish his Impressionist work and also learning the importance of good craftsmanship. His predilection towards light-hearted themes was also influenced by the great Rococco masters, whose works he studied in the Louvre. In 1862 he entered the studio of Gleyre and there formed a lasting friendship with Monet, Sisley, and Bazille. Renoir painted with them in the Barbizon district and became a leading member of the group of Impressionists who met at the Café Guerbois. His relationship with Monet was particularly close at this time, and their paintings of the beauty spot called La Grenouillère done in 1869 (an example by Renoir is in the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm) are regarded as the classic early statements of the Impressionist style. Like Monet, Renoir endured much hardship early in his career, but Pierre-Auguste Renoir began to achieve success as a portraitist in the late 1870s and was freed from financial worries after the dealer Paul Durand-Ruel began buying his work regularly in 1881. By this time Renoir had 'travelled as far as Impressionism could take me', and a visit to Italy in 1881-82 inspired him to seek a greater sense of solidarity in his work. The change in attitude is seen in The Umbrellas (NG, London), which was evidently begun before the visit to Italy and finished afterwards; the two little girls on the right are painted with the feathery brush-strokes characteristic of his Impressionist manner, but the figures on the left are done in a crisper and drier style, with duller coloring. |

| After a period of experimentation with what Renoir called his `manière aigre' (harsh or sour manner) in the mid 1880s, he developed a softer and more supple kind of handling. At the same time Pierre-Auguste Renoir turned from contemporary themes to more timeless subjects, particularly girl bodys, but also pictures of young girls in unspecific settings. As his style became grander and simpler Pierre-Auguste Renoir also took up mythological subjects (The Judgement of Paris; Hiroshima Museum of Art; 1913-14), and the female type Renoir preferred became more mature and ample. In the 1890s Renoir began to suffer from rheumatism, and from 1903 (by which time Renoir was world-famous) Pierre-Auguste Renoir lived in the warmth of the south of France. His best known works are bathing girls, Bather, Luncheon of the Boating Party. |

The rheumatism eventually crippled him (by
1912 Renoir was confined to a
wheelchair), but he continued to paint until
the end of his life, and in his last years
he also took up
sculpture, directing assistants (usually
Richard Guino, a pupil of Maillol) to act as
his hands (Venus Victorious; Tate, London;
1914). - Renoir oil painting portrait
France, bathing girls, Bather, Luncheon of the Boating Party. Renoir is perhaps the best-loved of all the Impressionists, for his subjects---pretty children, flowers, beautiful scenes, above all lovely women---have instant appeal, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir communicated the joy he took in them with great directness. |

`Why shouldn't art be pretty?', he said, `There are enough unpleasant things in the world.' Renoir was one of the great worshippers of the female form, and he said `I never think I have finished a nude until I think I could pinch it.' One of his sons was the celebrated film director Jean Renoir (1894-1979), who wrote a lively and touching biography (Renoir, My Father) in 1962. | ||||||
