Kurzbeschreibung
Pierre Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) is now universally acclaimed: museums pride themselves on his paintings, crowds flock to his retrospectives. His work shows art at its most light-hearted, sensual and luminous. Renoir never wanted anything ugly in his paintings, nor any dramatic action. "I like pictures which make me want to wander through them when it's a landscape," he said, "or pass my hand over breast or back if it's a woman." Renoir's entire oeuvre is dominated by the depiction of women. Again and again he painted "these faunesses with their pouting lips" (Mallarme) and invented a new image of feminity.

Geniuses' full color reproductions.
24. Juli 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
I'm in love with The Impressionists in general and with Auguste Renoir in particular.
His palette is full of light; soft pink, greens and blues are a joy to watch time and again. As most Impressionists Renoir paint wonderful every day scenes, mainly outside as his magnificent: "The Luncheon of the Boating Party" (1881), "The Swing" (1876) and "Le Moulin de la Galette" (1876), whose careful reproductions are shown here.
He was an artist that loved life and wanted to reflect it as he perceived: full of little moments of simple joy and relax.
He was also a masterful portrayer as you may see from his "On the Terrace" (1881) in the cover of this book or "Two Girls in Black" (1881).
Another subject that attracted his fancy was the dancing couple, which he depicts with tenderness and accuracy. It doesn't matter if the dancers are from the high class as in "City Dance" or commoners as in "Dance at Bougival" both from 1883.
At the end of his life his paintings evolve and produce for our delight: "Seated Bather" (1914) and "The Nymphs" (1918).
His life and works are described and commented by the author with keen penetration and endearment.
Reproductions are awesome and do justice to the Artist.

Fabulous Overview With Beautiful Reproductions
12. November 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
Renoir is one of my favorite artists and this small volume does justice to his life's work by providing a concise and yet penetrating overview of his major paintings. The reproductions are beautifully presented and the biographical context is informative and leaves the reader wanting to delve further into the life of this incredible artist. An added bonus are several photographs of Renoir at different stages of his life that are museum worthy in their own right. This is a fine introduction to Renoir and for the reader already familiar with his life and work it is a great book to page through and enjoy these beautiful paintings at leisure.
A Very Good Biography and Beautiful Reproductions.
