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…

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 (1897)

“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.

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 (1881-1886)

“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…

Renoir: Portrait of Madame Renoir (1874)

“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…
