Renoir in the 20th Century



The paintings and sculpture of Pierre-Auguste Renoir at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art represent art made during the last 20 years of his life. Though, for me, he never needed to make anything after the masterwork called "Luncheon of the Boating Party." That painting took my breath away when I saw it in Washington, D. C., years ago.

My friend, Chris treated me to a preview of this exhibition which began in Paris and will travel only to Philadelphia.
