Renoir

Synopsis of Renoir

«Renoir» is Gabriele Crepaldi's monograph on the Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, published by Electa in hardcover (144 pages, in Spanish).

This book examines the career of Pierre-Auguste Renoir and his way of capturing scenes of daily life: open-air dances, picnics by the Seine, evenings at the opera and girls in the bloom of youth. Against Monet's landscape and Manet's intellectual gaze, Renoir focused on people and fleeting gestures, with a thick, vibrant and luminous brushstroke that makes joy the center of his painting.

Part of Electa's Art Book collection, a series of monographs on painters. This Spanish edition was published in 2008.

For art and painting enthusiasts looking for an overview of Renoir and Impressionism.
