  1. Auguste Renoir and Impressionism Presented By Patrick Diamond Presented To Mr. Swan September 22, 2010

  2. Quick Biography • Born Feb 24, 1841 and died Dec 3, 1919 • Worked painting designs on porcelain and then blinds while studying at the Louvre • Was devoted to 18th century French art • Renoir combined modernity and timelessness (nature) in a lot of his pieces • When his paintings were rejected, he abstained from the Salon in Paris (World renowned art expo) for 4 years • He joined the Impressionist group exposition in 1874 to 1877, which featured artists such as Monet, Manet, Sisley and Bazille • Traveled to Italy and visited Florence, Venice, Rome and Naples which inspired him to change his style • Throughout his life, he often changed styles as his mood changed, ushering a new era of painters • Was also a famous portraitist and spent a lot of time painting people for money

  3. Renoir and Impressionism • Was a prominent artist in the style when it was popular and was one to form Impressionism • Wanted to emulate the grandeur and simplicity of his scenes by concentrating on broad harmonies rather than details • Combined the spontaneity of his outdoor scenes with his love in characterization of his scenes of contemporary life • Used formless dabs of his paintbrush to evoke the presence of objects • In his last portraits and paintings, he combined colour and form flawlessly

  4. A Few of Renoir’s Paintings

  5. Impressionism and its affect on the World • Before Impressionism, artists were to paint scenery and portraits as they saw it at face value • Impressionists complained about the constantly changing settings esp. outdoors (changing clouds, low tide/high tide, breeze etc…) and felt that the exact paintings of the time would not work • Instead, artists changed from painting scenes as exact as possible to painting what the artist felt and interpreting the scene as more of a mood • This paved the way to modern art styles which really more and more on feeling than landscapes, and subjects being painted as seen (cubism, pop art) • First form of art to take nude women and stick them in modern settings, which was very avant-garde
