Auguste Renoir cytaty

Auguste Renoir, Pierre-Auguste Renoir – francuski malarz i rzeźbiarz. Współtwórca i jeden z czołowych przedstawicieli impresjonizmu.

Karierę artystyczną zaczynał od dekorowania porcelanowych zastaw stołowych. W twórczości malarskiej koncentrował się na portretach dzieci i kobiet, aktach oraz martwych naturach. W ciągu niemal sześćdziesięcioletniej kariery namalował około sześciu tysięcy obrazów. Nigdy nie zajmował się malarstwem pejzażowym tak intensywnie jak inni impresjoniści. Był też płodnym rysownikiem, tworząc pobieżne szkice wykonane różnymi technikami. W wieku 66 lat artysta podjął pierwsze próby rzeźbiarskie, kiedy był już poważnie chory na reumatyzm. Wikipedia

Auguste Renoir: Cytaty po angielsku

“I can manage very well with the first grubby backside [of the model] which comes along – provided I find a skin which takes the light well.”

Źródło: undated quotes, Renoir – his life and work, 1975, p. 150 : a quote from Vollard's book

“For me, a painting must be a pleasant thing, joyous and pretty - yes, pretty. There are too many unpleasant things in life for us to fabricate still more.”

As quoted in: Faber Birren (1965) History of color in painting: with new principles of color expression. p. 284-5
Alternative translation:
To my mind, a picture should be something pleasant, cheerful, and pretty, yes pretty! There are too many unpleasant things in life as it is without creating still more of them.
As quoted in Luncheon of the Boating Party‎ (2007) by Susan Vreeland
undated quotes

“The pain passes but the beauty remains.”

As quoted in: Instituto Nacional de Previsión (Spain) (1974). 6.o Congreso Internacional de Medicina Fisica: 2-6 julio 1974. p. 424
Renoir replied to Matisse, who had asked him why he persisted in painting at the expense of such torture.
undated quotes

“You haven't time to think about the composition. In working directly from nature, the painter ends up by simply aiming at an effect, and not composing the picture at all; and he soon becomes monotonous.”

(before 1880) As quoted in Renoir – his life and work, Francois Fosca, Book Club Associates /Thames and Hudson Ltd, London 1975, p. 176
undated quotes, Renoir – his life and work, 1975

“People will keep on taking them for theorists, when all they wanted was to paint in gay, bright colours, like the old masters.”

Źródło: undated quotes, Renoir – his life and work, 1975, p. 64 : Renoir's remark to Vollard referring to the Impressionist artists's Monet, Sisley and Pissarro.

“About 1883 a kind of break occurred in my work. I had wrung Impressionism dry, and had come to the conclusion that I knew neither how to paint nor how to draw. In a word, I was at an impasse”

Benicka (1980) commented:
The frescoes of Raphael and the Pompeian murals that he saw there definitely confirmed what Renoir had begun to feel about his own art; that it was becoming too amorphous in character and was weak in design.
undated quotes

“What a charming girl! And what a skin! She positively radiated light around her.”

Źródło: undated quotes, Renoir – his life and work, 1975, p. 150 : Recalling the model Jeanne Samary.

“What seems most significant to me about our movement is that we have freed painting from the importance of the subject. I am at liberty to paint flowers and call them flowers, without their needing to tell a story.”

Quoted in: Charles Altieri (1989) Painterly Abstraction in Modernist American Poetry, p. 169: Talking about the movement of Impressionism.
undated quotes

“They tell you that a tree is only a combination of chemical elements. I prefer to believe that God created it, and that it is inhabited by a nymph.”

undated quotes

“Out-of-doors there is a greater variety of light than in the studio, where the light is always the same. But that is just the trouble; one is carried away by the light, and besides, one can't see what one is doing.”

Źródło: undated quotes, Renoir – his life and work, 1975, p. 176 : to Vollard. Renoir was referring to two of his landscapes, painted in the open air, having a different look in the studio light.

“I would never have taken up painting if women did not have breasts.”
