First Impressions: Pierre Auguste Renoir Details
From Kirkus Reviews Readers learn in this pithy entry in the First Impressions series that one of todays most popular of the Impressionist painters was, in his lifetime, rejected from exhibitions and often struggled to make ends meet. Rayfield follows Renoir from his youth and his first job painting ceramics, to his old age, when his hands were so crippled with arthritis he could barely hold a brush. Although young readers may be more familiar with his early works (and his affiliation with painters such as Monet and Czanne), he continued to paint until his death. He experimented with new styles, and created many later portraits of his wife and children. Excellent and abundant full-color reproductions accompany the text, as well as black-and-white photographs of the a rtist and his home. The book includes commentary from Renoir's son, filmmaker Jean Renoir, as well as recollections from the painter and his friends. (index) (Biography. 10-15) -- Copyright ©1998, Kirkus Associates, LP.

This book was VERY helpful for my daughter as she worked on her 6th grade research paper on Renoir. Lots of useful information.
