Pierre-Auguste Renoir is known and loved for his impressionist paintings of Paris which rank among the world's favourites. Renoir, however, grew tired of this styIe and changed course. This stunning film based on the remarkable Renoir coIlection at Philadelphia's Barnes Foundation explores the artist's new approach. These Iater works stiIl provoke extreme reactions - some peopIe are repuIsed by them and others seduced. Two 20th century titans Picasso and Matisse are intriguingly among the many artists who were cIearly infIuenced by Renoir's Iater direction. This film is a new biography of an artistic giant - Renoir - but also uncovers an untold story that identifies him as a significant link between the art world's old order and the new. |
