- Discover the trailblazing spirit of Auguste Renoir, one of the founders of impressionism, whose canvases shattered centuries of artistic convention. In "Renoir - Portrait of Changing Times," we see how Renoir took inspiration from the past, while transforming Parisian life undergoing societal change into timeless masterpieces.
Renoir's impressionistic strokes capture the pulse of 1870s Paris, a city reeling from war and revolutionary change, whilst incorporating Rococo references. This documentary explores the genesis of Renoir's vision, which melds tradition with the avant-garde.
As his son later wrote, “Renoir loved fairy tales. The everyday was like a fairy tale to him”. Like the fairytale world of Rococo Painting, Renoir’s impressionist works do not depict reality but create an alluring and beautiful fiction that still captures the imagination today.

The reason for all this change to "Impressionism" and what follows, are the direct result of the invention of photo cameras. They could capture the reality better than any painter. But not the "impression" and "feel" of them. So the painters, not wanting to become unemployed and irrellevant, switched to what cameras could never capture: the feel and impression
Interesting! I was thinking about it
Absolutely. This is what my art professor told me in university when I took the first History of Fine Art course. Cameras captured a realistic setting, and these impressionist and post-impressionist painters who were also real innovators took things to the next level.
@@crackerbarrel210 That is true, isn't it: art reacting to technology?
In part the camera had something to do sure, but also a paradigm shift, look their subjects, completely different than what was being done by academics at the time, different, subjects, compositions, palette, approach (studio vs open air), materials to a degree too...
@@armandogavilan1815 Camaras had only "something to do" with it? Just something! And how do you explain your idea of "the shift" to impressionism in the mind of the artist. if not the market? So, you think the invention of the engine (trains, cars, subways etc), had only "something" to do with the switch from horse-drawn vehicles and carts, eh? All the polemics and bitting around the subject bush you present, can only muddly the issue rather than explaining it.
His paintings mesmerize me in a way, it's something I can't put in words.

Yes, though actually I was never a big fan of him until I saw one of his large works in real life. It truly shimmered and had a life of its own. I was captivated.
I truly enjoyed this video about Renoir. Thank you for such a lovely history of a wonderful artist.
A truly wonderful exploration of Renoir's beginnings. So informative. Thanks so much!
You're welcome, glad you liked it!
Just a celebration of life in most of his paintings , simple moments seen from far away by an observant mind !!! just beautiful !!!
I appreciate the close ups of his feathery brushstrokes as well as the grand scale compositions. Thank you very much.

WOW!!!! Thank you for the history lesson, ancient pictures, context of the artist´s influences and painting evolution. The images provided help us envision what and how he was inspired. You make us feel as if we were right there and then, along side him.
Magnificent effort, way beyond the traditional documentary. Well done.
ini baru karya...penuh dgn penjiwaan ...bukan ketrampilan tangan,bukan kerajinan dan bukan foto yg dibesarkan
Colin Bailey! The best curator. Along with John Marciari… . 🧑🎨♾️🎭 I love their lectures on drawings.
His paintings were so much more interesting and detailed than most; painting more than one and changing the story so special .

Thank you for uploading. I'm not in to Renoir, but I can sure see what he tried to do. He is taking you to a pleasant memory or feeling, a peacefulness to his work. With scenes of freedom, life spend with others, laughing, sharing free time, on the best day of the week. The continuous Sunday feeling. A dreamy pastry. A sweet and gentile, doll house kind of impression. The Barbie Painter of his time.
Thanks for your comment, we're glad you enjoyed it! Make sure to follow us for more uploads :) All the best from Berlin!

I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary of sorts. Thank you.
Merci.
Roots of Renoir revealed!
Love his meal deal!
Do a documentary about William-Adolphe Bouguereau. His art have to be seen from everyone. After 19-th centrury academism, everything began to degenerate, when the new movementa came and amazed everything with its illiteracy
Essence of older times is captured realistically in these paintings.
I think of art history as recognition of ancestry. We can trace influences through the generations. "My great uncle Renoir"!
Thank you !!!
You're most welcome :)
Thanks for this documentary! But it would be nice of you to mention in final titles all the musical pieces used.
Lovely
Thank you, it was interesting and I learnt some new fact.

Interesting and informative but too many advertisements ..ultimately didn't finish because of this
Maravilha!
Lovely video. But voice overs ? Why ?
😍
The British woman narrating pronounced all the French names with such an effort to sound French, then kept saying Watteau with a W sound rather than the V sound that the French use. It sounded a bit silly. In my art history classes at university my professors all said it the French way, 'Vatteau' and we are out in the hinterland of the U.S.
Manafique..oh la la renoir
I love it but why does every impressionist documentary have to play claire de lune in the background hahaha, like there arent a thousand other great french composers. Or come on, even some of Debussy's lesser known works would be great. Hahaha.
🥰
No son suficientes 550 millones de personas, para subirlo en español?
No lo hay en francès tampoco, y se trata de Renoir...
Just think about it, about the fact that Renoir was considered "outlandish"! That the status quo thought that that was not how art was supposed to look like! It's just impossible for us to understand that mindset. Impressionism is now regarded as kind of a Conservatives Avant-garde... There's always a status quo that thinks what art is supposed to be. Today is not different. The goal, for all of us, is to understand what is the current status quo ( It's really, really hard to reach such understanding), only then we can be free.
Thank you for sharing your insightful thoughts, very interesting for sure.
Meanwhile Gen Z is gaining lots of Likes on IG for naked photos
Has anyone noticed he paints the same bearded curly brown headed guy in many paintings in the park? He paints the same straw hat on others but that guy is always in the middle. Who is he? 🎓🪖⚖️🎓⚗️🔬⚡:👍🏻🍀✝️🇺🇲👊🏻
My least liked impressionist, which is not to say he wasn´t great. Always had a problem with his palette. (the colorful one).
Many art lovers, including myself, detest Renoir. They think that his paintings are too pretty and decorative.
I love Renoir, but is it safe to say that his art is slightly kitsch?
On the opposite , he had a great taste ,and his technique was very modern and bold .
Far-out Johnny Depp.
Almost good as Van Gogh.
Renoir ??? 😅😅😅😅
Renoir has rightly been called: "The worst great painter of all time."
He
Like or dislike his work but the truth remains hidden that he revolutionized Art by being used/propped up by powerful political artistic forces of the time that used his works and the Impressionists as a basis for money laundering which continues to this day. If one wants to understand this research dealer Paul Durand-Ruel and his private Art Gallery, but one must dig as they have fabricated and white-washed his background.
AI voiceover is too distracting
I hate it when people use the present tense when talking about things that happened in the past. Have we become so lazy that we refuse to use the past, present and future?
What a disgraceful pronunciation of French names. Almost unbearable.
Ohhhhh… those paintings are so insipid and sugary.. sickening.
The French Naturalists, at the same time were such finer painters.
ReNOir was the worst.
What can you do that is better?
Oh my, there are no words.. I have painted for 50 years.
Renoir was a feather painter which is the worse and most sweety pie way. He daubed with pinks and blues.. Ad nausem
@@cindyoverall8139 What have you painted? Where is your artwork?
@@cindyoverall8139 I don't know. One may dislike his painting, for sure, but he was the one who allowed western painting to escape the stereotypes of classical school which had remained pretty much unchanged between the XVIIth to the late XIXth century.
Oh yes. No comparison
what a boring start, DW is getting shittier, show us the boat, take it down show us, oh almost, put someone in, lots of words showing/telling us nothing, l luv Renoir but this show shows/tells nothing of him
We're sorry you didn't like the documentary. We hope the next one hits the spot!
Art the most useless of men's creations.
Who hurt you? 😟
@@DWHistoryandCulture it's usually some kid (under 15) that comes up with a temporary conclusion as that ... then you explain, if they demand, and then they shut up.
It's an interesting topic for discussion. It's also interesting how people don't want discussion. They just shut down the comment. Hmmm....
@@smoath music is the most useless of men's creation, calligraphy is the most useless of men's creation, poetry is the .... etc.
people with a fully functioning *human* brain plus a healthy psyche, instinctively know of their purpose, decodifying their intricacies for adult automatons or children with development issues can be rather exhausting or boring.
@@hgilbert yes, all true. But I wouldn't say to a child - "who hurt you?". Better to ignore them, or quote Oscar Wilde and give them something to think about.
Renwal was my favorite impressionist painter of all time. I even liked his paintings better than Monets. But I do like Monet as well. I’m an impressionist painter and they were my inspiration.❤
Why do people hate Renoir all of a sudden? They sound like stuck up losers.
They absolutely are jealous losers. There are so many of them.
Almost good as Van Gogh.
