Yenne Lee: Autumn Leaves
Jeune femme assise jouant de la guitare belongs to a group of works that Renoir painted of women and men playing the guitar. Renoir’s appreciation for “La Belle Otéro,” a dancer at the Folies-Bergère who was celebrated at the time as the embodiment of Spanish seduction, is thought to have inspired these works. Although the…
Pierre-Auguste Renoir: L’église à Essoyes
“Although Renoir would keep his rented Parisian apartment throughout his life, from the late 1880s onward, much of his time would be spent in the countryside enjoying the tranquil pleasures the retreat had to offer. Renoir’s middle son, Jean, wrote of their home in the region with great nostalgia, “Essoyes, where my mother and Gabrielle…
Eva Cassidy: Time After Time
“Carefully divided into hot and cold-colored areas, the composition is dominated by the undulating lines of the dress, guitar, armchair and cushion that contrast with the verticals of the background. The white dress is shaped by white gradations. Shades of blue and grey suggest the play of shade and light on the garment…” READ FULL…
Renoir’s Eye for Color
“Reading forms an important recurring motif in Renoir’s oeuvre, despite his professed aversion to all literary influences in visual art. “For me, a painting should be something pleasant, joyous, and pretty,” he insisted, “yes, pretty!” (ibid., p. 16). Books distracted his models from the difficult task of posing at length, allowing him to work without…
Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Tête de jeune fille
“For Renoir, female portraits offered a pathway to exploring the intricate relationships of color, paint and brushwork in the creation of form… Over the course of his studies during the 1880s, Renoir began to grow increasingly interested in the tactility of his sitter’s flesh, drawing inspiration from the art of Titian, Peter Paul Rubens and…

Vladimir Horowitz: Scenes from Childhood (Schumann)
“Renoir’s lavish scenes of frolicking bathers were some of the most celebrated compositions of his mature career, and Baigneuses is a beautiful and richly-painted example of this theme. The composition is one of Renoir’s more realistic portrayals of public bathing and features the subjects in the modest swimwear that was common during this era. The two figures in the foreground are…
Sam Robson: Fare Thee Well, Love
Fare thee Well, love Far away, you must go Take your heart, love Will we never meet again no more? Far across, love O’er mountains and country wide Take my heart, love No one knows the tears I’ve cried So I’ll drink today, love, I’ll sing to you, love in pauper’s glory, my time I’ll…
Renoir: Mademoiselle Grimprel au ruban rouge (1880)
“Painted in 1880, Mademoiselle Grimprel au ruban rouge (Hélène Grimprel) dates from the brief highpoint of Renoir’s portrait painting. It was between the years of 1878 and 1881 that Renoir painted many of the greatest of his portraits, and indeed gained, albeit for a short time, some financial security because of it… While Mademoiselle Grimprel…
Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Confidence
“Painted in 1897, Confidence captures a couple in a private moment of conversation, the woman’s lips slightly parted as she leans in to speak, the man’s head lowered in a posture of concentration. The intimacy of the scene is emphasized by the extremely close vantage point, with both heads abruptly cropped by the edges of…

Ivo Pogorelich: Für Elise
“Renoir made several paintings of spectators at theaters or concerts—a subject that explores the theme of seeing and being seen. Although the artist may have begun the painting as a portrait of specific individuals, he later reworked it to present two women whose identities and relationship are unknown. The subdued lighting and clearly defined forms…
Renoir: The Umbrellas
“Painted in two stages, with a gap of around four years between each stage, it shows the change in Renoir’s art during the 1880s, when he was beginning to move away from Impressionism and looking instead to classical art. The group on the right, which includes a mother and her two daughters and the woman…
Piatti: Complete Cello Sonatas
A capacious library of Baroque-era works bears the name of the Italian cellist Alfredo Piatti (1822-1901) as an assiduous and pioneering editor, arranger and promoter of music for his instrument. Much less familiar are Piatti’s own original pieces. This is the first modern recording and the only available collection on record of all six sonatas…
Renoir: Portrait of Madame Renoir
“During the early 1870s, Renoir and Monet often painted side by side, producing images of the same subject and sometimes using each other—and other family members—as models. In Renoir’s informal portrait of Camille Monet, the painter’s wife sits on a comfortable sofa reading a paperback book. Small touches of color cover the canvas like stitches…

Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Bal du moulin de la Galette
Masterpiece of Early Impressionism This painting is doubtless Renoir‘s most important work of the mid 1870’s and was shown at the Impressionist exhibition in 1877. Though some of his friends appear in the picture, Renoir’s main aim was to convey the vivacious and joyful atmosphere of this popular dance garden on the Butte Montmartre. The…
