Exhibition Image Gallery - Renoir Landscapes: 1865-1883

of 21
Traveling February 21, 2007-January 6, 2008 to London, Ottawa and Philadelphia
We all know and love Pierre-Auguste Renoir as a preeminent painter of people, but often overlook his landscapes. This is a mistake for, as Renoir Landscapes: 1865-1883 illustrates, the artist originally developed his superbly innovative color palette in the freedom of the outdoors. Additionally, it was landscape painting that first allowed Renoir to loosen his brushwork and speed up the tempo of his work. A strong argument is here made that, lacking the landscape experience he enjoyed in the first two decades of his career, we'd all be looking at very different Renoirs in years since.
Renoir Landscapes: 1865-1883 was organized jointly by the National Gallery, London, The National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and contained more than 60 works from public and private collections from the United States, Europe and around the world. A selection of images from the exhibition is hereby provided for your viewing pleasure.
About the show:
During the first two decades of his career as a painter, Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) learned a lot about his craft by doing landscape paintings. Perhaps because he was freed from the concern of representing humans (friends or patrons who might, possibly, have been offended), Renoir performed his most audacious experiments in light, color, form (or lack thereof) and brushwork on uncomplaining scenes of woods, gardens, water and land. This freedom of expression and his bold innovation as a colorist out-of-doors inevitably found their ways into the figure paintings for which Renoir is so beloved.
Renoir Landscapes: 1865-1883 takes a comprehensive look at these landscape experiences through 60-some loans from public and private collections in the US, Europe and around the globe.
