Renoir's Women Details
Taking as its starting point two very different but equally engaging female portraits, which Renoir painted twenty years apart - Madame Henriot en travesti, a portrait of the Parisian actress dressed as a pageboy, and Christine Lerolle Embroidering, showing the daughter of Renoir's friend the painter Henry Lerolle in a scene from her everyday life - Renoir's Women brings to life the major themes of Renoir's captivating pictures of women with enlightening text and over eighty beautiful illustrations, including some of the most perceptive and intimate portrayals of women ever painted.
Reviews
i purchased this book after viewing this exhibition and i must say it includes alot of paintings that were not in the exhibit and all that were. the reproductions are beautiful, the text is very informative, however, i wish some of the images were larger. nonetheless, definately a incredible addition to my collection of art books. thanks!
