The Forgotten Years of Renoir
An Artistic Renaissance
The last years of Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) represent a period often overlooked as the painter is associated with the golden age of Impressionism. However, towards the end of the 19th century, he embarked on new and fruitful research. Renoir then establishes himself as the master of a decorative and classical art, nourished by tradition, but also as an example for new generations of artists.
Renoir and His Heirs
A Dialogue Through the Ages
The exhibition will bring together about a hundred paintings, drawings, and sculptures by Renoir, from public and private collections around the world. These nudes, portraits, and model studies were once owned by Matisse or Picasso. Divided into about fifteen sections, they will occasionally be confronted with works by Picasso, Matisse, Maillol, or Bonnard, attesting to Renoir’s legacy. Thus, the exhibition invites viewers to reconsider the later works of Renoir by exploring the perspective that these artists from the first half of the 20th century had on a 19th-century master who was their contemporary.
