How Renoir Revolutionised Art

Renoir is my favorite of the French Impressionists, and I learned so much about him and his work in this video. Thank you.

This video is destroyed by non stop ads. Well done uploader, greedy. Wont be returning to this channel Again

The consummate heterosexual. Every painting he did, was a symphony to the female form.

I have a left rear fender from a Citreon 2cvmwith Renoirs's The Boating Party painted on it. You can sense the abysinth in it.

I guess I need an overweight Pole with an English accent to enjoy an hour critiquing art, sorry.

Love to don a corset and then sit in a wet boat...alas! Hiw lurid how lurid the colors are...stick a boat there, Jean, and then just leave it...leave it? Lurid!?
Just drivel.

Is it paint or putty

Mon mere etait un Renoir admire et un bien peintre elle-meme. J'adore francaise impressionnisme arte et surtout Auguste Renoir. Merci beaucoup DW History et Culture. Chapeau !

Trump 2024!

Renoir looks as though he didn’t own a pair of scissors, no barbershop

What everyone misses about the attraction of impressionism is that our brain focuses on the vagueness of everything and tries to complete it. Our brains focus on the incompleteness or the out of focus and tries to complete what it sees and bring it into focus. The colors and general shapes are obtained easily at a glance and can be enjoyed readily without the distraction of detail. Then the brain focuses the eyes and fills in the details and participates in the painting of the work of art by completing it in the mind. Completing or solving the obscured gives the brain satisfaction and or pleasure. Think about it.

Renoir is the worst of the Impressionist painters. UGH TREACLE.

Thank you! 🥰

Im trying to figure out how one can call this art. Hes not bad though

"Renoir is a painter of happiness and beauty not ugliness" you said,
What if I said so called ugliness is also a kind of beauty and beyond anything

Luncheon of the boating party is brilliant. Found it at the Phillips Gallery in DC. The use of color is exquisite The chance random detail, the sun glinting in the wine. a dash of color.

Love how the woman slowly approaches the case, carefully unlocks it, slowly takes out the vase…

Ty for posting. Enjoyable which may have spurred patronage had you unselected the music; a vapid if not distacting rendition of Debussy

Is it really pronounced “KKKKHun-WAh?

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing some Renoir paintings up close, photos, videos, prints can never show you how incredible his painting are. Until that point I never understood why anyone would pay millions for his paintings, I walked away wishing I had those millions.

Renoir was not a genius, he did not change painting ,if anything he was retrograde.

If I had to re~incarnate...
Paris, 1880's, wealthy family, loving family, intelligent family... no crazies... but avant guard, access to the artists inner circle.

Anyone else get chills watching this?

Beautiful❤️

He killed me in Arsenal

Behave. Oh yotyre

Nothing is new in art we just say it in different ways. And Renoir put his feelings and right brain into action.

You can hear "pictures of
ancient mythology and from a bible are not that interesting, focus on prosaic here and now" Wow! This is amazing to hear that current situation of our world is based on the same principal!

Also i admire how author said "God from mythology" and therefore in one sentence suggesting what's their relationship with organised religion BUT i. the same time letting us know that NEW unorganised religion is in the making!

JP was right! Once we stop sacrificing our time for what is commonly know as god ( highest position and highest element ) we started slowly focusing on "lower" things and hedonistic nature of PEOPLE aim to stand out so they moved away from this more and more ( here is "common people" and later it will be low things and today we have lowest of the low and therefore we flipped the hierarchy completely hahahahah ). This is astonishing!
Yo! New is not necessary better but that's what artist here and viewers think! Confusing it with "progress" hahah JP was right!

They scrub the word communist for some reason.

We were starving artists. We also painted what we saw. Sure we had to work the market for a living but there was room for new things... in a world of suffering I wanted to leave abit of beauty behind. I think I succeeded.

This has been a good documentaries ever. Thank you so much

Seriously can’t handle the way keep pronouncing “Louvre”

I love the scenes of ordinary people living a very ordinary life rendered in sun and shadow kissed beauty

Thank you DW for this wonderful piece of work showcasing Renior's work, but the history of Paris and the change in the political climate in France as well. This was new information for me. You also offered up a brief biography of Renior's early work as a young artist onward to his incredible work as one of the impressionists. I have had the privilege of seeing his work in person. The light, details, and color is mesmerizing. I wished I could step into the party by the Seine and join the party. I have to say I loved his work, it looked like everyone was enjoying the sunny day socializing happily and you wanted to be a part of it. As per usual DW your work is always fresh and new and gives new information and details. Very enjoyable. Many thanks.

Ren Wa had wicked bad eyesight and parlayed it into an **-ism.

Deutsche Welle documentaries are always excellent. I'm an amateur student of the French Impressionists and there was a lot of new material for me here. Thank you.

its so strange that Deutsche Welle reports on this

Congrats DW for these type Documentaries…!!!

Why is DW in English? I want to practice my German😢

...Renoir didn't revolutionize anything. Painting in a distinctive style, that, he did... These cheap, over-journalistic, abusive titles became a nuisance...

Wonderful program, thank you.

Fantastic work

I have seen "Luncheon of the Boating Party." I was told that the gentleman in the back wearing a top hat with his back to the painter is Renoir himself, and that the woman with the dog in the left foreground is his girlfriend.
