A celebration of Renoir’s imagery of love in all its guises: from friendship, affection, flirtation and seduction to camaraderie and parenthood.
More so than any of his Impressionist contemporaries, Pierre-Auguste Renoir was committed to chronicling love and friendship in his work. He understood that the emotion—whether seen on Parisian street corners or in sun-dappled woodlands—could be as fleeting and blinding as his other great and transitory subject: light. Focusing on the artist’s career from the mid-1860s to the mid-1880s, this catalog traces the evolution of how the artist depicted love in all its varied manifestations, from platonic and familial to romantic and sexual. Such themes are explored in tender and personal works as well as beguiling multi-figure compositions of urban and suburban sociability, including his trio of dancing couples that remain symbols of fin-de-siècle France. Hardcover, 256 pages.
