Pierre-Auguste Renoir Art

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (25 February 1841 – 3 December 1919) was among the most revered impressionist artists of his time. He was a porcelain painter apprentice, who utilized his free times to learn drawing. It took him years, doing a lot of painting and drawing experiments before he established himself as an Impressionism artist in the 1870s. Through his apprenticeship, drawing classes in a city supported art school, and his ability to learn from the works of artists saw him build his artistic style. In 1862, he went to the prestigious Ecole des Beaux-Arts school and also got art instructions from Charles Gleyre at his studio. It’s at the studio where he met creative young artists, including Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, and Frederic Bazille. Renoir’s career picked up in 1860s, including an approval to showcase his "La Esmeralda" art at the Paris Salon exhibit in 1864. He received several other future approvals to showcase his work during Salon exhibitions, a reality that raised his status. Renoir created own art and worked on commissions diverse clients. Instead of depending on other established exhibitions in Paris, Renoir, together with his artist friends Monet, Pissarro and others, started exhibiting their art on their own in 1874. Their exhibition was profiled as the inaugural Impressionist exhibition. That exhibition wasn’t a great success, but that didn’t stop him from making art. Renoir later received a lot of support from publisher Georges Charpentier, enabling him to earn some money from his art. Later on, in 1919, his work was bought by Louvre Museum, a great honor for any artist. Renoir became an inspiration to several artists, including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and more. While creating his pieces he used different brushstrokes on canvas in order to properly show his impressions. His works were also characterized with brighter palette, and often used oil as his main medium. Owing to their quality, Pierre-Auguste Renoir framed art and replications are available for sale through different platforms.
