Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841 – 1919) Renoir painted The Bathers in 1884-7. / Oil on Canvas – 118×170cm – Philadelphia Art Museum Biography: / / Pierre-Auguste Renoir (February 25, 1841–December 3, 1919) was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty, and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that “Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau”. Youth / Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born in Limoges, Haute-Vienne, France, the child of a working class family. As a boy, he worked in a porcelain factory where his drawing talents led to him being chosen to paint designs on fine china. He also painted hangings for overseas missionaries and decorations on fans before he enrolled in art school. During those early years, he often visited the Louvre to study the French master painters. / The Theater Box, 1874 by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Courtauld Institute Galleries, LondonIn 1862 he began studying art under Charles Gleyre in Paris. There he met Alfred Sisley, Frédéric Bazille, and Claude Monet. At times during the 1860s, he did not have enough money to buy paint. Although Renoir first started exhibiting paintings at the Paris Salon in 1864, recognition did not come for another ten years, due, in part, to the turmoil of the Franco-Prussian War. During the Paris Commune in 1871, while he painted on the banks of the Seine River, some members of a commune group thought he was a spy, and were about to throw him into the river when a commune leader, Raoul Rigault, recognized Renoir as the man who had protected him on an earlier occasion. In 1874, a ten-year friendship with Jules Le Coeur and his family ended, and Renoir lost not only the valuable support gained by the association, but a generous welcome to stay on their property near Fontainebleau and its scenic forest. This loss of a favorite painting location resulted in a distinct change of subjects. Maturity / Renoir experienced his initial acclaim when six of his paintings hung in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874. In the same year two of his works were shown with Durand-Ruel in London. / The Swing (La Balançoire), 1876, oil on canvas, Musée d’Orsay, ParisIn 1881, he traveled to Algeria, a country he associated with Eugène Delacroix, then to Madrid, in Spain, to see the work of Diego Velázquez. Following that he traveled to Italy to see Titian’s masterpieces in Florence, and the paintings of Raphael in Rome. On January 15, 1882 Renoir met the composer Richard Wagner at his home in Palermo, Sicily. Renoir painted Wagner’s portrait in just thirty-five minutes. In the same year, Renoir convalesced for six weeks in Algeria after contracting pneumonia, which would cause permanent damage to his respiratory system. In 1883, he spent the summer in Guernsey, creating fifteen paintings in little over a month. Most of these feature Moulin Huet, a bay in Saint Martin’s, Guernsey. Guernsey is one of the Channel Islands in the English Channel, and it has a varied landscape which includes beaches, cliffs, bays, forests, and mountains. These paintings were the subject of a set of commemorative postage stamps, issued by the Bailiwick of Guernsey in 1983. While living and working in Montmartre, Renoir employed as a model Suzanne Valadon, who posed for him (The Bathers, 1885-7; Dance at Bougival, 1883) and many of his fellow painters while studying their techniques; eventually she became one of the leading painters of the day. In 1887, a year when Queen Victoria celebrated her Golden Jubilee, and upon the request of the queen’s associate, Phillip Richbourg, he donated several paintings to the “French Impressionist Paintings” catalog as a token of his loyalty. In 1890 he married Aline Victorine Charigot, who, along with a number of the artist’s friends, had already served as a model for Les Déjeuner des canotiers (Luncheon of the Boating Party, 1881), and with whom he had already had a child, Pierre, in 1885. After his marriage Renoir painted many scenes of his wife and daily family life, including their children and their nurse, Aline’s cousin Gabrielle Renard. The Renoirs had three sons, one of whom, Jean, became a filmmaker of note and another, Pierre, became a stage and film actor. Later years / Around 1892, Renoir developed rheumatoid arthritis. In 1907, he moved to the warmer climate of “Les Collettes,” a farm at Cagnes-sur-Mer, close to the Mediterranean coast. Renoir painted during the last twenty years of his life, even when arthritis severely limited his movement, and he was wheelchair-bound. He developed progressive deformities in his hands and ankylosis of his right shoulder, requiring him to adapt his painting technique. In the advanced stages of his arthritis, he painted by having a brush strapped to his paralyzed fingers. During this period he created sculptures by directing an assistant who worked the clay. Renoir also used a moving canvas, or picture roll, to facilitate painting large works with his limited joint mobility. In 1919, Renoir visited the Louvre to see his paintings hanging with the old masters. He died in the village of Cagnes-sur-Mer, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, on December 3.

Yesterday, in the art class, at Hazelhurst, one of the other students asked me if I’d ever participate in the actual activity that Melissa, the teacher was presenting. / It was asked with a smile. The actual answer would be: no. But I am very happy to attend the classes and, with one of the other students I agreed that it’s being with like-minded people, the supportive atmosphere and – this may seem false but – I considered explaining that that is why I participate in RedBubble, as well but it was not the time to launch into what RedBubble is. / I heard MB(artworks) do tht already, for Melissa, the teacher. / I ‘fled’ from another class, at Hazelhurst, last year, when after two terms with one teacher, someone else took over, whose style just did not suit me. That can happen. / Having a painting ‘on the go’, to take to Melissa’s class every Tuesday, to work on and get her advice, suits me fine. / This time I had left getting a new painting started VERY late. At abut 9:15 a.m., I rubbed the charcoal off a canvas of a picture that I did not paint ( mini-nudists in a tree) and quickly started this painting which had been wanting to be painted (again) for quite some time. / I have an earlier version, in acrylic, painted a lot of years ago. I am currently going through slides and this one was taken, in the playground, in 1966. / As I explained to some fellow students yesterday, I have tried to make the extensive collection of photos and slides, taken during 37 years of teaching available to the subjects (and their parents), in various ways, through the years, with little success. Wouldn’t it be good if this girl, now 41 years older, recognised herself? / Melissa (teacher) pointed out, again, that I’d got the length of the arm wrong. / I explained that that made me proud. The mother of my children, whose observations and knowledge I highly respect, used to point out to me how Renoir got the proportions of, particularly hands (in laps etc.) so wrong. / I have SO MANY Renoir prints and books!! / By 11:15 I had a very good start to the painting done. Ay 12:30 I began working some more on the painting, in the class, at Hazelhurst. By 3:15 p.m., I was pleased with the progress. /

This another in my series of pastel studies of heads and headwear found in paintings by master painters. I use only a portion of the painting and do not try to imitate slavishly. I am also using a different medium, of course. The original Renoir was in oils on canvas. I make no apologies for using these heads for inspiration, I’m just sorry that I can’t do it as well as the original painter! These studies are on coloured paper and all measure 50×70cm.

PICASSO

I’ve just returned from a weekend up in Brisbane. It wasn’t just any weekend it was a huge turning point for me. I went to the Picasso exhibition. As I walked through the black curtain into the masters realm my pulse was racing. Standing in front of the first Picasso artwork I was so overcome with emotion tears were spilling down my cheeks. You might think that I’m exagerating, but to see the works of not only Picasso, but Braque, Ernst, Mattisse, Modigliani, Renoir, Rousseau (there were more) in the flesh was so absolutely a trip out of this world. In my early teen years I visited an exhibition of some of Picasso’s work at the Sydney Gallery and this made such an impression on me and has been a huge influence in my work. While studying design I was facinated by the artists from the turn of the century and I feel that Picasso was very instrumental in artists looking outside the square. I recommend this journey to Brisbane before the exhibition ends. Can you even try to imagine a trip into the beginnings of cubism, surrealism, fauvism, expressionism as an artist I don’t believe you can let this opportunity slip past you.
