Pierre-Auguste Renoir

In a few generations you can breed a racehorse. The recipe for making a man like Delacroix is less well known.

I have a predilection for painting that lends joyousness to a wall.

It’s with my brush that I make love.

One must from time to time attempt things that are beyond one’s capacity.

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.

It is after you have lost your teeth that you can afford to buy steaks.

I would never have taken up painting if women did not have breasts.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir
