FRENCH VERSION

The Musée d'Orsay presents two exhibitions on Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919): one dedicated to his representations of a happy modernity, during the first twenty years of his career (1865-1885), the other to his work as a draftsman (drawings, watercolors, pastels...), highlighted for the first time. The special series published on this occasion explores these two themes. He is interested in the famous Impressionist paintings of the painter, immortalizing the sociabilities of modern life, colorful and joyful, in the theater, in cafes, streets, balls... He also gives a look at his works on paper, highlighting their importance in the evolution of his art, and stops on his post-impressionist period, with a focus on portraiture and the nude.
