La Vie en Rose
\nThe most comprehensive retrospective of Renoir\u2019s work
\nPierre-Auguste Renoir\u2019s (1841\u20131919) timelessly charming paintings still reflect our ideals of happiness, love, and beauty. Derived from our large-format volume, the most comprehensive retrospective of his work published to date, this compact edition examines the personal history and motivation behind the legend. Though he began by painting landscapes in the Impressionist style, Renoir found his true affinity in portraits, after which he abandoned the Impressionists altogether. Though often misunderstood, Renoir remains one of history\u2019s most well-loved painters\u2014undoubtedly because his works exude such warmth, tenderness, and good spirit.<\/p>\n
In an incisive text tracing the artist\u2019s career and stylistic evolution, Gilles N\u00e9ret shows how Renoir reinvented the painted female form, with his everyday goddesses and their plump contours, rounded hips and breasts. Renoir\u2019s later phase, marked by his return to the simple pleasure of the female nude in his Bathers series, was his most innovative and stylistically influential, and would inspire such masters as Matisse and Picasso.<\/p>\n
With a complete chronology, bibliography, photos, sketches, and brilliant reproductions, this is the essential work of reference on this enduring master artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
