Auguste Renoir Biography briefly

Pierre Auguste Renoir was called a painter of happiness, a master of harmony, a poet of children and women. In the circle of impressionists, Renoir was the most balanced, tactful and more of his counterparts ready for agreement and compromise. His direct antipode was Paul Cezann-a lonely, stubbornly unavailable, despised public art. Renoir, on the other hand, did not seem to know what the intolerance of the fanatic, the recklessness of the rebel, the doctrinet of theorist is.

His art was completely ruled by the principle of reality. True, he said that there was a time when he was looking for the impossible, but these searches had never gone too far. Among other things, the painting of Renoir is brightly national: this is the embodiment of the spiritual norm and the cheerful sobriety of a French character. Pierre Auguste Renoir-"Self-Portrait", the son of a tailor, Pierre-Ogust Renoir was born in a year in Limozhe, a teenager was painted porcelain and decorative curtains, then studied in Paris at the Glayer Academy and in the year he put the picture "Esmeralda"-a composition by the Roman of the Paris Mother of God "later Destroyed.

He so easily and successfully stepped on the path of the Parisian painter, which seemed - luck was given by itself in his hands. He began as a pamper of luck and in essence remained him forever. One by one, he writes women's portraits - Lisa, Portrait of Mademoiselle Romen Laco "Pierre Auguste Renoir -" Portrait of Mademoiselle Romen Lanko ", 81x65 cm, in these elegant and artistic things the huge talent of Renoir and his open benevolence to people.

In the same year, Claude Monet, the ancestor of impressionism, chose a similar motive. In the "Lady in the Garden" of Monet, the foresight of a new style is already noticeable: the unprincipled intensity of the sunlight, pouring the picture, is not a private detail, but the phenomenon of a new artistic program. Renoir has nothing of the kind, he hardly experienced temptations of discovered and certainly alienated conceptuality.

In the early period, he wrote in a tested pearl-gray gamut, in a solid manner of poetic realism, reminiscent of Kor and Kurba, and was not at all embarrassed by this. Pierre Auguste Renoir - "Lisa with an umbrella", X I write as God puts on my soul. " In these words, said by Renoir much later, by no means coquetry of a meter, but a sincere statement: he really had a happy inaccuracy of the letter.

What he could never write, like Monet or Cezanne, a picture-declaring, a manifesto picture. He saw a private lesson in painting. Therefore, he did not create a school and did not raise students. No matter what he wrote, he always remained charmingly direct, first of all and only himself. He wrote in vain dressed citizens, several swimwear, a sail on water and bright greens.

Fullyness, solar luster, the air "moments" of sensual joy, that is, the poetry and the philosophy of impressionism, conveying life as it is, without theater, pretense and moralizing, of course, Renoir to the liking came to his liking. Impressionism for Renoir is not so much an artistic method as a way of attitude to life. He himself lived in a young life that he wrote. It is easy to imagine a swimmer of a “frog”, a pattern of dancing in Mulen de la Galet, flirting with crafty modists, a friend of muscular boaters in the hay.

Mandelstam, - you feel blisters in the palm of your hand, as if grated rowing. Renoir could not be outcast, incomprehensible and unloved, and did not want to. He loved life and people, he was not created for unrequited love. In addition, his peaceful nature was annoyed by the atmosphere of the scandal, which for many years thickened around the impressionists; If at times the scandal subsided and silence came, as if there were no them at all, Renoir was lost and suffered.

The first among the "outcasts" Renoir returned to the official Salon, regained the location of the audience, and achieved a well -being. And it was so natural for him, which did not cause a break with friends, nor insults and misunderstandings. In short, he consisted of combining impressionist color, an acute psychological characteristics of the model and plastic reminiscences from artists of past eras - from the romantics of Delacrois to the classicists of Poussen.

Renoir’s susceptibility, the gift of assimilation and harmonization allowed him to fuse these purely heterogeneous elements. The results amaze the imagination. The suite of naked swimsuits created for years, children, girls - this is the circle of motives of the mature Renoir. Pierre Auguste Renoir - "Dance in the city", Gaevsky, is festive, observant and poetic. These women, illuminated by the Sun, these girls with reddish bangs, with the body of nurse and sylphs, these children's faces covered with a gentle blush create a world, alien to artificiality and alien vulgarity, who does not know what is fatigue.

"This little masterpiece does not need interpretation and explanatory words, they can only spoil the impression, everything is completely clear and without it. Self -sufficient painting, which reveals and explains itself.But maybe it is worth noting that “girls behind reading” is a completely ordinary work of a mature Renoir: at such a level, with such virtuoso, dazzling skill, Renoir wrote on a day a day for at least two decades - about the beginning of the twenties.

He continued to work later, even until the death of the year, although due to illness-cruel rheumatism of his hands-he could not resist at the same altitude. The venerable and glorious, he lived in Paris - in Paris and died. Pierre Auguste Renoir - "Two Girls at Reading", 56.5 X48.2 cm, Renoir fully personifies the almost legendary image of a free Parisian artist; Of course, it is only more serious than the legend allows.

Renoir created by Renoir, captive coloring harmony is something more than the openier than the air of Paris and the sky of France. This is the radiance of the world at that brief moment when a person does not feel with him in discord.
