Description
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) was one of the founding fathers of the movement we call Impressionism, along with his friends Bazille, Sisley, Monet, Pissarro, Degas, and Morisot. Known for his endearing genre scenes, nude bathers and lush flowers, Renoir consciously chose charming, cheerful and colorful subjects. He said “There are enough unpleasant things in the world without me adding to them.” Unlike his friends Bazille, Morisot and Sisley, Renoir lived to see great personal success.
