For the month of April I read one of my local libraries art books about Pierre Auguste Renoir. To be honest his artwork - paintings throughout the book as well as descriptions of such paintings caught my attention more than the first half of the book about his life. His art is stunning and so realistic I felt like I was looking at paintings. Again, he's another artist I haven't heard of before. So this was a nice treat to learn of him and see his paintings. HIs work felt familiar but I'm not sure why, maybe it's similar to other art I have seen over the years at different art museums.
Pierre Auguste Renoir was born February 25th 1841. He lived to be 78, passing away in 1919. Which I feel was pretty good for those times. He practiced in impressionism. A-lot of his art has beautiful woman and children in them. Truly some lifelike works. With his art he uses a fine range of colors in some paintings and others he uses few - which I think takes a certain amount of talent and skill. I find it interesting that a few of his children grew up to be well known film makers and in related films. And in later years his grandson became a famous artist.
Have any of you heard of Pierre Auguste Renoir?
