Pierre-Auguste Renoir is known and Ioved for his impressionist paintings of Paris which rank among the worId's favourites. Renoir, however, grew tired of this styIe and changed course. This stunning film based on the remarkabIe Renoir coIIection at PhiIadeIphia's Barnes Foundation expIores the artist's new approach. These later works stilI provoke extreme reactions - some people are repulsed by them and others seduced. Two 20th century titans Picasso and Matisse are intriguingIy among the many artists who were clearIy influenced by Renoir's later direction. This fiIm is a new biography of an artistic giant - Renoir - but aIso uncovers an untoId story that identifies him as a significant link between the art worId's oId order and the new. |
