As a celebrator of beauty, and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau ." [ 1 ]Renoir's paintings are notable for their vibrant light and saturated color, most often focusing on people in intimate and candid compositions. The female nude was one of his primary subjects. In characteristic Impressionist style, Renoir suggested the details of a scene through freely brushed touches of color, so that his figures softly fuse with one another and their surroundings.His initial paintings show the influence of the colorism of Eugène Delacroix and the luminosity of Camille Corot . He also admired the realism of Gustave Courbet and Édouard Manet , and his early work resembles theirs in his use of black as a color. Renoir admired Edgar Degas ' sense of movement. Another painter Renoir greatly admired was the 18th-century master François Boucher . [ 16 ]A fine example of Renoir's early work and evidence of the influence of Courbet's realism, is Diana , 1867. Ostensibly a mythological subject, the painting is a naturalistic studio work; the figure carefully observed, solidly modeled and superimposed upon a contrived landscape. If the work is a "student" piece, Renoir's heightened personal response to female sensuality is present. The model was Lise Tréhot, the artist's mistress at that time, and inspiration for a number of paintings. [ 17 ]In the late 1860s, through the practice of painting light and water en plein air (outdoors), he and his friend Claude Monet discovered that the color of shadows is not brown or black, but the reflected color of the objects surrounding them, an effect known today as diffuse reflection . Several pairs of paintings exist in which Renoir and Monet worked side-by-side, depicting the same scenes ( La Grenouillère , 1869).One of the best known Impressionist works is Renoir's 1876 Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette ( Bal du moulin de la Galette ) . The painting depicts an open-air scene, crowded with people at a popular dance garden on the Butte Montmartre close to where he lived. The works of his early maturity were typically Impressionist snapshots of real life, full of sparkling color and light. By the mid-1880s, however, he had broken with the movement to apply a more disciplined formal technique to portraits and figure paintings, particularly of women. It was a trip to Italy in 1881, when he saw works by Raphael and other Renaissance masters, that convinced him that he was on the wrong path, and for the next several years he painted in a more severe style in an attempt to return to classicism. [ 18 ] Concentrating on his drawing and emphasizing the outlines of figures, he painted works such as The Large Bathers (1884-87; Philadelphia Museum of Art ) during what is sometimes called his " Ingres period". [ 19 ]After 1890 he changed direction again. To dissolve outlines, as in his earlier work, he returned to thinly brushed color. From this period onward he concentrated on monumental nudes and domestic scenes, fine examples of which are Girls at the Piano , 1892, and Grandes Baigneuses , 1887. The latter painting is the most typical and successful of Renoir's late, abundantly fleshed nudes. [ 20 ]A prolific artist, he created several thousand paintings. The warm sensuality of Renoir's style made his paintings some of the most well-known and frequently reproduced works in the history of art. The single largest collection of his works--181 paintings in all--is at the Barnes Foundation , in Philadelphia ."The Best Reproductions I Have Ever Seen..." David Nash, Sotheby's, New York "Ivana Trump was so impressed that she ordered 1,400 ARTAGRAPHS® for the Plaza Hotel." Forbes Magazine, September 16, 1991 "A new art reproduction method, the ARTAGRAPH® process creates facsimile reproductions of art that even to my expert eye are indistinguishable from the original at a distance of three feet." Wayne Anderson, Professor of Art History, MIT The artagraph reproduction process provides a superior, accurate reproduction of the original, offering the actual brushstrokes and texture of the painting that cannot be found in giclee or lesser quality art reproduction processes. Unlike many reproductions, relatively few artworks have gone through the artagraph process. Some of the reproduced artists include: Beraud, Caillebotte, Cassatt, Cezanne, Degas, Gauguin, Manet, Modigliani, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Rockwell, Sargent, Seurat, Singer, Sisley, Toulouse-Lautrec, Turner, and Van Gogh.ARTAGRAPH® THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL OIL ON CANVAS WHICH RECREATES NOT ONLY THE COLOUR OF THE ORIGINAL BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THE SURFACE TEXTURE IN EVERY DETAIL. All of us art lovers spend thousands of dollars to visit the famous museums of the world for just a brief glimpse of artistic genius and hundreds more to purchase inferior flat reproductions to help us relive the memories. Now thanks to an incredible technological breakthrough, we can own and enjoy amazingly realistic replicas of these beloved paintings. Superior to all other art forms these affordable Artagraph oil - on - canvas replicas faithfully capture not only the vivid colors but the surface texture and brush strokes of the original by portraying the play of light and shadows from every brush stroke the artist originally created. Artagraphs are a combination of several technologies that utilize a highly specialized patented process that took over 8 years and millions of dollars to develop. Artagraph is the highest state of the art in reproduction technology. The Artagraph process is three dimensional oil on canvas which recreates not only the colour of the original, but more importantly the surface texture in every detail. An artist's original painting embraces a unique vision by their choice of image, colours, and medium. Most processes of reproduction lose a great percentage of the integrity of the original. Other methods lack detail, produce incorrect colours, and have no surface texture, robbing the collector of truly experiencing and understanding the intent of the artist. This revolutionary process provides stunning surface texture faithfully recreating the detail...A.R.T. International (AGPF) manufactures extremely high quality reproductions of original classic paintings, utilizing its' patented "Artagraph" technology to not only reproduce the color and subject of the original master oil painting, but the brushstroke and dimensional texture of the painting as well.These outstanding replicas known as Artagraph editions, are the result of several State-of-the-ART technologies that use a highly specialized patented process that has taken the company years to perfect. The process creates replicas so detailed that people often have difficulty telling the original from the Artagraph!Headquartered in Ontario, Canada, the company markets and distributes a total of 167 fine art editions from the works of the Old Masters, Impressionists including Monet, Van Gogh and Renoir, along with signed and numbered limited editions by Contemporary artists, through retail stores, trade publications, art publishers, joint ventures, overseas distributors and direct marketing campaigns. Each almost indistinguishable from the original.Forbes Magazine (September 16, 1991) said of Artigraph Editions: "Ivana Trump was so impressed that she ordered 1,400 ARTAGRAPHS® for the Plaza Hotel" and Desmond Corcoran, Partner: The Lefever Gallery, London merely stated: "Terrifyingly Realistic.".THE ARTAGRAPH PROCESSArtagraphs are a combination of several technologies that utilize a highly specialized patented process that took over 8 years and millions of dollars to develop. Artagraph is the state of the art in fine art reproduction. The Artagraph process is three dimensional oil on canvas which recreates not only the color of the original but more importantly the surface texture in every detail.First, the exact colors of the original are scanned by a high-tech digital laser, with a highly advanced optical system that takes its image directly from the original. Each color is printed one at a time using specially formulated fast drying oil based inks in overlapping layers onto a unique oil based sheet, which has the same chemical composition as oil paint and has been specially designed by ART Inc.Second, a mold is taken directly from either the original or a bas-relief of the original created by the artist. A patented silicon gel substance is then poured onto the original or bas-relief semi-original, and 72 hours later the mold is removed. This patented technique captures every surface detail of the artwork in negative form. The mold is reusable as many times as is necessary. It can be heated, frozen and even put under 120 tons of pressure without any damage to the structure of the mold.Third stage, the negative mold, the printed oil based substrate along with a unique laminate canvas material are placed into an oven press and heated to 600-700 degrees Fahrenheit(180-190 Celsius) under 35-65 tons of pressure, causing the oil substrate to liquefy with the laminated canvas, filling into all the cracks and cervices on the mold. Immediately the Artagraph is shock frozen with liquid nitrogen leaving a permanent surface texture. The Artagraph edition, after close inspection, is ready to be stretched and framed.Artagraphs are so exacting, to prevent theft and misrepresentation, they put an indelible ink stamp on the back to differentiate the original from the Artagraph edition.Check out my other items !Be sure to add me to your favorites list !Your satisfaction is important to me.
