This superb collection of lithographs reveals the great Impressionist’s subtle mastery of mood, composition and shading even without the presence of the rich palette of colors usually associated with his work. Scenes of children playing, mothers with children, women posing and working, and portraits of the artist’s children are interspersed with portraits of famous men, among them Paul Cézanne, Auguste Rodin, Richard Wagner and Ambroise Vollard.

This title is one in a series presenting four masterpieces by four immortal French impressionist painters. Each miniature book faithfully reproduces its title painting on the front cover, and is packaged in a handsome slipcase that doubles as a picture frame. The frame can stand up on a desk or tabletop or be hung on the wall to display the book cover’s striking painting. Each book’s interior discusses its title painting, describing the artist’s approach to his work, analyzing the picture’s fine points, and showing close-up details from the painting. A final two-page spread presents a timeline capsule biography that lists significant events in the painter’s life. Renoir—Dance at Bougival shows and discusses Piere-Auguste Renoir’s festive painting, which places many of his personal friends in the picture’s foreground. Painted in 1876, it now hangs in the Musï¿½e d’Orsay in Paris.

Pierre Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) is now universally acclaimed: museums pride themselves on his paintings, crowds flock to his retrospectives. His work shows art at its most light-hearted, sensual and luminous. Renoir never wanted anything ugly in his paintings, nor any dramatic action. "I like pictures which make me want to wander through them when it's a landscape," he said, "or pass my hand over breast or back if it's a woman." Renoir's entire oeuvre is dominated by the depiction of women. Again and again he painted "these faunesses with their pouting lips" (Mallarme) and invented a new image of feminity.

Roma, Museo del Risorgimento, Palazzo del Vittoriano, 31 marzo - 25 luglio 1999. A cura di Frédérique Verlinden e Marisa Vescovo. Saggi di Alain Renoir e Maurizio Calvesi. Milano, 1999; br., pp. 185, 100 ill. e tavv. b/n col., cm 24x28. (Arte moderna. Cataloghi). Si tratta di una monografia, che è anche catalogo della mostra di Roma (Museo del Risorgimento, Palazzo del Vittoriano 11 marzo-3 luglio 1999), dedicata all'ultimo periodo di attività del grande maestro impressionista. La costante volontà di rinnovamento spinge Renoir a recarsi a Roma nel 1881, dove l'arte di Raffaello e la pittura pompeiana gli rivelano nuovi orizzonti compositivi che lo portano ad accantonare le scene di vita parigina per concentrarsi sulla figura femminile, sull'armonia di linee sinuose e colori luminosi che esaltano una bellezza serena che richiama la compostezza e la monumentalità delle figure della mitologia classica.
