Yes, though actually I was never a big fan of him until I saw one of his large works in real life. It truly shimmered and had a life of its own. I was captivated.
WOW!!!! Thank you for the history lesson, ancient pictures, context of the artist´s influences and painting evolution. The images provided help us envision what and how he was inspired. You make us feel as if we were right there and then, along side him. Magnificent effort, way beyond the traditional documentary. Well done.
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 !
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.
The reasons for all this change to "Impressionism" and what follows, are the direct result of the invention of photo cameras. They could capture the reality better than any painter. But not the "impression" and "feel" of them. So the painters, not wanting to become unemployed and irrellevant, switched to what cameras could never capture: the feel and impression
Absolutely. This is what my art professor told me in university when I took the first History of Fine Art course. Cameras captured a realistic setting, and these impressionist and post-impressionist painters who were also real innovators took things to the next level.
In part the camera had something to do sure, but also a paradigm shift, look their subjects, completely different than what was being done by academics at the time, different, subjects, compositions, palette, approach (studio vs open air), materials to a degree too...
@@armandogavilan1815 Camaras had only "something to do" with it? Just something! And how do you explain your idea of "the shift" to impressionism in the mind of the artist. if not the market? So, you think the invention of the engine (trains, cars, subways etc), had only "something" to do with the switch from horse-drawn vehicles and carts, eh? All the polemics and beatting around the subject bush you present, can only muddy the issue rather than explaining it.
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.
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.
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.
Your excellent entertaining documentary about Renoir delighted me. I am looking forward to seeing more of your programs.I am so glad UA-cam offered it to me. Sincerely, Blaine Halley Santa Cruz, CA 😎
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.
Wonderful look into the work of Renior, his painting where he progressed beyond his portraits tutorial the mixes of classes of ordinary pariesions along the Seine are mesmerizing. Such light, the colors, everything about his work makes me want to walk into his boating and luncheon parties and be part of the fun. Great documentary on one of my most favorite artists. Thank you DW for your expansion of your work into the world of art. Enlightening and most enjoyable programs.. Informative for all even if you're not working in the art world everyone I hope takes away an appreciation of these incredible artists and their work. 52:52
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.
Thank you for uploading. I'm not in to Renoir, but I can sure see what he tried to do. He is taking you to a pleasant memory or feeling, a peacefulness to his work. With scenes of freedom, life spend with others, laughing, sharing free time, on the best day of the week. The continuous Sunday feeling. A dreamy pastry. A sweet and gentile, doll house kind of impression. The Barbie Painter of his time.
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.
Multiple times 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!
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.
Le moulin de la galette etait la premiere peinture que j'ai admire ,j'ai adore les bleus fonces des costumes des hommes, qui sont presque noirs,a l'epoque le tableau etait expose en pleine vue ,on pouvait le voir presque a l'entree,du grand salon,ca fait a peu pres 40 ans,,,, 👍 .
The British woman narrating pronounced all the French names with such an effort to sound French, then kept saying Watteau with a W sound rather than the V sound that the French use. It sounded a bit silly. In my art history classes at university my professors all said it the French way, 'Vatteau' and we are out in the hinterland of the U.S.
Just think about it, about the fact that Renoir was considered "outlandish"! That the status quo thought that that was not how art was supposed to look like! It's just impossible for us to understand that mindset. Impressionism is now regarded as kind of a Conservatives Avant-garde... There's always a status quo that thinks what art is supposed to be. Today is not different. The goal, for all of us, is to understand what is the current status quo ( It's really, really hard to reach such understanding), only then we can be free.
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!
Has anyone noticed he paints the same bearded curly brown headed guy in many paintings in the park? He paints the same straw hat on others but that guy is always in the middle. Who is he? 🎓🪖⚖️🎓⚗️🔬⚡:👍🏻🍀✝️🇺🇲👊🏻
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!
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.
I hate it when people use the present tense when talking about things that happened in the past. Have we become so lazy that we refuse to use the past, present and future?
His paintings mesmerize me in a way, it's something I can't put in words.

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

I think of art history as recognition of ancestry. We can trace influences through the generations. "My great uncle Renoir"!
Thank you !!!
You're most welcome :)
Love how the woman slowly approaches the case, carefully unlocks it, slowly takes out the vase…
Roots of Renoir revealed!
Anyone else get chills watching this?
Nothing is new in art we just say it in different ways. And Renoir put his feelings and right brain into action.
Fantastic work
Thanks for this documentary! But it would be nice of you to mention in final titles all the musical pieces used.
Great video ❤
Thank you! 🥰
We're glad you liked it! 🥰
"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
You probably have a point here 😊
Multiple
times
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!

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.
Le moulin de la galette etait la premiere peinture que j'ai admire ,j'ai adore les bleus fonces des costumes des hommes, qui sont presque noirs,a l'epoque le tableau etait expose en pleine vue ,on pouvait le voir presque a l'entree,du grand salon,ca fait a peu pres 40 ans,,,, 👍 .

Ty for posting. Enjoyable which may have spurred patronage had you unselected the music; a vapid if not distacting rendition of Debussy
We're glad you liked it. Thank you for the feedback 😊
The British woman narrating pronounced all the French names with such an effort to sound French, then kept saying Watteau with a W sound rather than the V sound that the French use. It sounded a bit silly. In my art history classes at university my professors all said it the French way, 'Vatteau' and we are out in the hinterland of the U.S.
Not to mention her pronunciation of Degas, which almost everyone ( if anglophone) gets wrong.
Lovely

Yeah right..! A pile of bricks in the Tate Gallery is " Art "...?!
See : H C Anderson . The Emperor's New Clothes....he explains it quite clearly !
Interesting and informative but too many advertisements ..ultimately didn't finish because of this

Lovely video. But voice overs ? Why ?
Maravilha!
My least liked impressionist, which is not to say he wasn´t great. Always had a problem with his palette. (the colorful one).
Love his meal deal!
Essence of older times is captured realistically in these paintings.
He killed me in Arsenal
😍
❤
am i tripping or is that emma darcy's voice. 21:10
Meanwhile Gen Z is gaining lots of Likes on IG for naked photos
Manafique..oh la la renoir
13:04 what could go wrong?
its so strange that Deutsche Welle reports on this
🥰
Many art lovers, including myself, detest Renoir. They think that his paintings are too pretty and decorative.
Renoir looks as though he didn’t own a pair of scissors, no barbershop
Has anyone noticed he paints the same bearded curly brown headed guy in many paintings in the park? He paints the same straw hat on others but that guy is always in the middle. Who is he? 🎓🪖⚖️🎓⚗️🔬⚡:👍🏻🍀✝️🇺🇲👊🏻

Why is DW in English? I want to practice my German😢
DW is geared towards a global audience, so much of our content is in English, but you'll also find content on our webpage that's in German :)
The consummate heterosexual. Every painting he did, was a symphony to the female form.
No son suficientes 550 millones de personas, para subirlo en español?
No lo hay en francès tampoco, y se trata de Renoir...
Is it paint or putty
Im trying to figure out how one can call this art. Hes not bad though
This video is destroyed by non stop ads. Well done uploader, greedy. Wont be returning to this channel Again
Is it really pronounced “KKKKHun-WAh?
They scrub the word communist for some reason.
What a disgraceful pronunciation of French names. Almost unbearable.
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.
Ren Wa had wicked bad eyesight and parlayed it into an ****-ism.
Behave. Oh yotyre
I guess I need an overweight Pole with an English accent to enjoy an hour critiquing art, sorry.
I love Renoir, but is it safe to say that his art is slightly kitsch?
On the opposite , he had a great taste ,and his technique was very modern and bold .
Renoir is the worst of the Impressionist painters. UGH TREACLE.
On top of that he was a horrible anti-Semite.
I hate it when people use the present tense when talking about things that happened in the past. Have we become so lazy that we refuse to use the past, present and future?
Seriously can’t handle the way keep pronouncing “Louvre”
Almost good as Van Gogh.
Renoir has rightly been called: "The worst great painter of all time."
Renoir ??? 😅😅😅😅
