Peter H. Feist Libros

Sun-kissed, charming, and sensual, the work of Pierre-Auguste Renoir champions painting at its most lighthearted and luminous. This essential artist introduction selects key works from his extensive oeuvre to explore his Impressionist innovations as much as his traditions in pursuit of beauty, harmony, and the female form.

The full scope of Impressionist painting... This monograph covers the full scope of Impressionist painting. It outlines the history of Impressionism in France, addressing not only the work of the acknowledged masters, but also that of such unjustly neglected artists as Bazille, Caillebotte, Berthe Morisot or Lucien Pissarro. The monograph also examines the Impressionist movements that emerged in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Scandinavia, Eastern and South-East Europe, Italy, Spain, Britain and North America. A 64-page "Directory of Impressionism" is appended, containing bibliographies, portraits and biographical data on all 236 artists.

French painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) enjoyed life to a degree seemingly denied most artists, and this joie de vivre is reflected in the lighthearted, sensual, and luminous elements of his work. Full-color reproductions and thorough text provide a quick yet solid introduction to this master.
