Renoir: His Life and Works in 500 Images: An Illustrated Exploration of the Artist, His Life and Context, with a Gallery of 300 of His Greatest Works
£16.10
This fascinating new book looks in detail at Renoir’s influences, life and works. The first part begins examines his style; it covers Renoir’s techniques and training: painting copies at the Louvre; his time at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts; meeting his muse, Lise Trehot; working with fellow impressionist artists and his struggles for recognition. The volume then investigates Renoir’s move away from Impressionism, his stay in Guernsey and also the changes to his personal life and the way in which these informed his work. It also documents his eventual success in the art world and considers the devastating series of illnesses and losses that blighted the end of Renoir’s long painting career. The second part of the book is a gallery of Renoir’s work in 300 glorious pictures, each accompanied by an in-depth analysis of its context within his life, his technique and his body of work as a whole.

Can’t get enough of Renoir. Although it is not an expensive art book, it gives a complete view of his work, A wonderful inexpensive book for those of us on a limited budget and great for the children too to get a taste of great art.

Great book. However on later inspection the book seems to be coming apart from the front cover.

Having also bought the Degas book in this series I find this just as good BUT why isthere no cover with details of the other books in this series and it was a little damaged on a corner .

Returned this book. It was not the first edition as advertised but a 2016 edition that was smaller, and had much inferior pictures of paintings than the first edition that i had seen in a local library. Disappointed with product. I will definately check with sellers from now on that I am being sent the correct edition.
