Pierre-Auguste Renoir Paint Quotations

About 1883 something like a break occurred in my work. I had reached the end of 'impressionism,' and I had come to realize that I did not know how to paint or draw.

I had wrung impressionism dry and I finally came to the conclusion that I know neither how to paint nor how to draw.

People will keep on taking them for theorists, when all they wanted was to paint in gay, bright colours, like the old masters.

My concern has always been to paint nudes as if they were some splendid fruit.

Paint with joy - with the same joy that you would make love to a woman.
