Frases de Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Pierre-Auguste Renoir foi um pintor francês impressionista.

Desde o princípio sua obra foi influenciada pelo sensualismo e pela elegância do rococó, embora não faltasse um pouco da delicadeza de seu ofício anterior como decorador de porcelana. Seu principal objetivo, como ele próprio afirmava, era conseguir realizar uma obra agradável aos olhos. Apesar de sua técnica ser essencialmente impressionista, Renoir nunca deixou de dar importância à forma - de fato, teve um período de rebeldia diante das obras de seus amigos, no qual se voltou para uma pintura mais figurativa, evidente na longa série Banhistas. Mais tarde retomaria a plenitude da cor e recuperaria sua pincelada enérgica e ligeira, com motivos que lembram o mestre Ingres, por sua beleza e sensualidade.

A sua obra de maior impacto é Le Moulin de la Galette, em que conseguiu elaborar uma atmosfera de vivacidade e alegria à sombra refrescante de algumas árvores, aqui e ali intensamente azuis. Percebendo que traço firme e riqueza de colorido eram coisas incompatíveis, Renoir concentrou-se em combinar o que tinha aprendido sobre cor, durante seu período impressionista, com métodos tradicionais de aplicação de tinta. O resultado foi uma série de obras-primas bem no estilo Ticiano, assim como de Fragonard e Boucher, a quem ele admirava. Os trabalhos que Renoir incluiu em uma mostra individual de 70, organizada pelo marchand Paul Durand-Ruel, foram elogiados, e seu primeiro reconhecimento oficial veio quando o governo francês comprou Ao Piano, em 1892.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Frases em inglês

“I can manage very well with the first grubby backside [of the model] which comes along – provided I find a skin which takes the light well.”

Fonte: undated quotes, Renoir – his life and work, 1975, p. 150 : a quote from Vollard's book

“For me, a painting must be a pleasant thing, joyous and pretty - yes, pretty. There are too many unpleasant things in life for us to fabricate still more.”

“The pain passes but the beauty remains.”

As quoted in: Instituto Nacional de Previsión (Spain) (1974). 6.o Congreso Internacional de Medicina Fisica: 2-6 julio 1974. p. 424
Renoir replied to Matisse, who had asked him why he persisted in painting at the expense of such torture.
undated quotes

“You haven't time to think about the composition. In working directly from nature, the painter ends up by simply aiming at an effect, and not composing the picture at all; and he soon becomes monotonous.”

(before 1880) As quoted in Renoir – his life and work, Francois Fosca, Book Club Associates /Thames and Hudson Ltd, London 1975, p. 176
undated quotes, Renoir – his life and work, 1975

“People will keep on taking them for theorists, when all they wanted was to paint in gay, bright colours, like the old masters.”

Fonte: undated quotes, Renoir – his life and work, 1975, p. 64 : Renoir's remark to Vollard referring to the Impressionist artists's Monet, Sisley and Pissarro.

“About 1883 a kind of break occurred in my work. I had wrung Impressionism dry, and had come to the conclusion that I knew neither how to paint nor how to draw. In a word, I was at an impasse”

Benicka (1980) commented:
The frescoes of Raphael and the Pompeian murals that he saw there definitely confirmed what Renoir had begun to feel about his own art; that it was becoming too amorphous in character and was weak in design.
undated quotes

“What a charming girl! And what a skin! She positively radiated light around her.”

Fonte: undated quotes, Renoir – his life and work, 1975, p. 150 : Recalling the model Jeanne Samary.

“What seems most significant to me about our movement is that we have freed painting from the importance of the subject. I am at liberty to paint flowers and call them flowers, without their needing to tell a story.”

Quoted in: Charles Altieri (1989) Painterly Abstraction in Modernist American Poetry, p. 169: Talking about the movement of Impressionism.
undated quotes

“They tell you that a tree is only a combination of chemical elements. I prefer to believe that God created it, and that it is inhabited by a nymph.”

“Out-of-doors there is a greater variety of light than in the studio, where the light is always the same. But that is just the trouble; one is carried away by the light, and besides, one can't see what one is doing.”

Fonte: undated quotes, Renoir – his life and work, 1975, p. 176 : to Vollard. Renoir was referring to two of his landscapes, painted in the open air, having a different look in the studio light.

“I would never have taken up painting if women did not have breasts.”
