About the Artist
Pierre-Auguste Renoir is a famous French painter whose paintings are probably the most popular, well-known, and frequently reproduced images in the history of art. Renoir was born the son of a tailor on February 25, 1841 in Limoges, France. Early in life he moved to Paris with his family.
At age 14, he became an apprentice as a porcelain painter. He became so adept at this he might have spent the rest of days doing this type of work, but fortunately the firm went bankrupt in 1858. Although he dabbled in several different jobs, but it seemed his earliest job convinced him to attempt to become a full time painter. It seems almost everyone has heard of or at least seen prints of his masterpieces, Bathers, The Umbrellas and Luncheon of the Boating Party. His work has a positive feel full of color and light in the impressionist mode.
Renoir once said, "Why shouldn"t art be pretty? There are enough unpleasant things in the world."
