If you wish to see the visual narrative; if you want to see the beauty of poetry painted on canvas; then a look at the paintings done by Renoir would be very much entertaining for your eyes. When we look his figurative paintings on a wall of museum, we feel that we are meeting a real person whose beauty is depicted in a charming way.
Renoir Painting Natural Beauty of Women
There was a time when if a painting adoring natural beauty of a woman were painted, the art critics and viewers felt themselves off-guard. The paintings of a beautiful woman done by Renoir were not the darling of such critics. He had painted many canvases which were subjected to the close scrutiny of critics. They also disliked the movement of impressionism, too. They criticised the whole movement as 'the paint fired onto canvass with a pistol'.
Renoir the Artist
In later phase of his creativity and in the last years of his life also, Renoir had cultivated keen interest in classic art. He had done so while keeping his impressionist brush well in his hands. He thought more about the effect of light. During his last lap of life, he had concentrated on ensuring that how the sunlight would affect the flesh tones. He did experiments with this theory by painting various figurative paintings. A large flock of models were at his disposal. These models working for the artists were eager to be painted and become immortal in the world of art. They have faith on the brush used by the master artist Renoir. That was one of the reasons Renoir was very much affected by the beautiful models who worked for him in his studio.
The Art
Pierre Auguste Renoir, born in the year 1841 and who died in 1919, was a master in the impressionist style. The style had celebrated beauty from whatever sources the artists selected to paint. He had painted several beautiful portraits adoring the charm of the women models sitting before him wearing no clothes. Renoir had always shown grand creativity. There was one specific technical reason for this, too. He paid full attention to the details in his paintings.
Renoir always searched for certain types of beauty in his women models. If he saw a high-breasted woman with heavy bottoms and small head looking like a girl, he would certainly paint that woman. And he got such models very often. One of his models, Gabrielle Renard, had all what he wanted in her body. She was working as a nurse for his minor children.
