Discover Renoir - The Later years


Organised by the Réunion des musées nationaux, the Musée d’Orsay and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, in collaboration with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Renoir in the 20th Century exhibition is sure to be the biggest popular art even for the end of 2009.
One of the most popular and well know impressionist painters, the exhibition will concentrate on the painter’s later years, especially interesting as there have been no studies or exhibitions focusing specifically on them, as has been the case for Monet or Cezanne.

Bringing together about a hundred of Renoir’s paintings, drawings and sculptures, from public and private collections all over the world, the idea is to to explore a period and aspects of Renoir’s work which are little known to the public (decorative painting, drawings, sculpture…) while demonstrating his influence on other artists in France in the first half of the twentieth century :
