Gardens of the Sunlight - Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Pierre-Auguste Renoir: the beauty of women, the love of life, the sparkle of lights.
For Renoir the main focus of attention was the human figure. His glowing, relaxed paintings, visibly prompted by a moment actually experienced and carefully observed, recorded the world as a place of happiness and harmony. His people look contend. For his female models Renoir always sought out girls of ampler proportions in his Montmartre neighbourhood. Without troubling over questions of morality or society, he glorified the beauty and sensuality he saw in them. In old age Renoir remarked: I do not know if I would have become painter if God had not created the female bosom.
