Frases de Pierre-Auguste Renoir
página 2

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.

as cited in Renoir, my Father, Jean Renoir; p. 124; as quoted in The private lives of the Impressionists, Sue Roe, Harpen Collins Publishers, New York 2006, p. 83 + 94
1870's

“He [ Richard Wagner ] was very happy but very nervous [Renoir proposed him to paint his portrait]... In short, I think I spent my time well, thirty five minutes is not long, but if I had stopped sooner it would have been better, because my model [Wagner] ended up by losing some of his good humor, and he became stiff. I followed these changes too closely [in the portrait]... At the end Wagner asked to see it. He said 'Ah! Ah! It's true that I look like a Protestant minister.”

But I [Renoir] was very happy it wasn't too much of a flop: There is something of that admirable face in it'
Quote of Renoir, in his letter to a friend, 15 Jan. 1882; as cited in 'Pierre Auguste Renoir - Richard Wagner', text of museum D'Orsay http://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/collections/works-in-focus/search/commentaire/commentaire_id/richard-wagner-11042.html?no_cache=1
At the beginning of 1882, Renoir was travelling in the south of Italy and visited Palermo where Wagner was staying. Renoir proposed a short sitting for the following day and Wagner agreed; he had just finished his 'Parsifal'.
1880's
