	Auguste Renoir
		Renoir was born in Limoges, in central France, on February 25, 1841, the sixth of seven children (two of whom died in infancy).
		Renoir achieved recognition earlier than his friends, but in 1880 he broke his right arm and for some time painted with his left hand, as shown on the photograph on this sheetlet, where he holds the palette in his right hand, and paints with the left.
		Renoir being one of the leading Impressionists, he is now one of the most popular of all 19th-century painters, for his work communicates with great directness the joy that he took in the pleasures and beauties of life.

	Impressionism - Biography of Auguste RENOIR
		In 1855, Renoir's father, a modest tailor from Limoges established in Paris since 1845, puts his 14 years old son Auguste at work in a porcelain factory, in the "Rue du Temple" street, where the adolescent boy is initiated with painting on plates.
		The sharp admiration that Renoir devoted to Delacroix since 1872, has perhaps to do with this evolution which, after the poorly rewarding Impressionist exhibitions of 1874, 1876 and 1877 in which he took part, contributed to the great success that he gained at the Salon of 1879 with "Mrs Charpentier and her children" (1878).
		Renoir left a considerable work, necessarily unequal, would it only be because of his prolific character: more than 4 000 paintings, that is to say a number higher than the works of Manet, Cézanne and Degas joined together.

		They began to go on painting expeditions to the Forest of Fontainebleau, where Renoir was befriended by the painter Diaz, who advised him to drop fl from his palette, and who also helped him to sell some of his work.
		That year, Renoir and Monet and a number of other artists including Berthe Morisot, Pissarro and Degas who, like themselves were disaffected with the Salon Jury, held the first exhibition of the group which was to become known as the Impressionists.
		Feeling that he was sacrificing too much to the vagaries of ever-changing light and the atmospheric affects sought by Impressionism, Renoir moved away from the group during the 1880's and returned to a more classical style, in which line and form assumed an importance not found in his work of the previous decade.

		One of the leaders of the Impressionist movement, Renoir is equally well known for his affectionate depictions of women and girls.
		By the late 1870s, Renoir felt that he had "wrung Impressionism dry" and, influenced by Raphael's work on a trip to Italy in 1881, turned away from fleeting effects of light for a more monumental approach to form.
		Initially, his efforts to use more precise draftsmanship resulted in paintings that were, in his own words, "extraordinarily dry," but by the end of the decade, he had evolved the approach, seen in Young Girls at the Piano, that combines more exact drawing with the warm tones of his earlier Impressionism.
