Renoir among women: “From the modern to the classic ideal Collections from the Musée d’Orsay and the Musée de l’Orangerie”

On the occasion of the exhibition, a catalog has been produced that includes a number of hitherto unpublished essays bringing together different assessments of the artist: the contradictions between the cozy world of Renoir and the more bitter side of modern Paris revealed by the painter; the collaboration with the Catalan sculptor Richard Guino; the admiration felt for Renoir by painters such as Matisse and Picasso or the influence of the Moulin de la Galette in the pictorial work of Ramón Casas and Santiago Rusiñol. The publication includes a number of essays on Renoir and how he viewed women as well as a chronology focused on this topic.
