Today is the birthday of Pierre-Auguste Renoir (February 25, 1841 – December 3, 1919), artist. He was of the leading artists in the Impressionist movement."People love to be nice, but you must give them the chance."
— Pierre-Auguste Renoir
"The work of art must seize upon you, wrap you up in itself and carry you away. It is the means by which the artist conveys his passion. It is the current which he puts forth, which sweeps you along in his passion."
— Pierre-Auguste Renoir
"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."
— Pierre-Auguste Renoir
"The only way to understand painting is to go and look at it. And if out of a million visitors there is even one to whom art means something, that is enough to justify museums."
— Pierre-Auguste Renoir
"An artist, under pain of oblivion, must have confidence in himself, and listen only to his real master: Nature."
— Pierre-Auguste Renoir
"One must from time to time attempt things that are beyond one's capacity."
— Pierre-Auguste Renoir
