Much influenced by forerunners such as Courbet, Degas, Manet, and Delacroix, he worked with contemporary peers such as Monet to explore fresh uses of colour and brushwork, rendering \u003cb\u003etexture and depth with different-hued daubs\u003c\/b\u003e. Drawn to \u003cb\u003eintimate and tender human scenes\u003c\/b\u003e, his \u003cb\u003esubjects include lovers, mothers, and numerous nudes\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs his career progressed, Renoir investigated different styles and techniques, shifting away from the feathery Impressionist touch to a more \u003cb\u003erobust, classical corporeality\u003c\/b\u003e, sometimes called his \"Ingres period,\" and later to monumental pieces such as \u003cem\u003eThe Bathers\u003c\/em\u003e. From the abundant output of his lengthy career, this essential artist introduction selects key Renoir works to explore his innovations in the art of painting, as much as his traditions in pursuit of beauty, harmony, and the female form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455676465388,"sku":"9783836531092","price":45.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/81sNVMxtgDL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774793025","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/renoir-by-peter-h-feist-9783836531092","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
