Pierre-Auguste Renoir at Work

Old footage of Renoir in his studio and at work. Filmed at The Barnes Foundation.

When asked about painting with his arthritis in his latter years, Renoir said, "The pain passes, but the beauty remains." Some of his last paintings exhibit very vibrant colors.

It’s amazing this film even exist. Wow! With Vollard no less.

[@tchaivorakfauresohnsieg9532]

Who would've thought at the time that a person siting in any corner of the world would be able to see any of their works. That's why I love internet

The guy next to him is Ambroise Vollard

[@Citizen_X.]

What an era that was when Monet, Sargent, Renoir, Pissarro, Degas, Sorolla and some of the greatest artists were alive at around the same time creating timeless master pieces. In this clip though looks like age has already caught up with the great Master.

[@cindyoverall8139]

Janson appointed them.. Unfortunately. Hanson only chose European white men. None of them came close to the Russian painters of the 19c. I.e. Isaak Levitan. Henry O'Tanner, A black American painter. Ma Janson ruined art history, but slowly, thanks to Pinterest, we are seeing other terrific artists from everywhere!

[@regineuhe6657]

One of the greatest ever, so much beauty in his work. But this is so sad, his hand already crippled. I believe students painted for him the last years, at first helping his hand hold the brush, then holding the brush with him leading, later painting exactly what he told them and precisely how to do it.

[@patriciag596]

I think the brush was tied to his hand because of crippling arthritis. He wanted to continue to paint, so that was the alternative.

[@stillstanding6031]

Look at the great masters' HANDS! OMG!

[@rtracey308]

That arthritis in his hands….. shows years of work…..

[@tottiemae2258]

This is incredible! Imagine how much it hurt just to hold a brush! It demonstrates that no matter how miserable, a person in his right mind just wants to keep living, working, and producing! I LOVE this. Thank you so very much!

[@sararahman7731]

Well said 🦅❤️🦅

[@alvarh9398]

Well, by no means a comparative, but check Jason Becker, still creating and just moving his eyes

[@salemslotandmore8278]

My girlfriend has VERY severe Rheumatoid Arthritis for over 30 years, with the SAME hands as Renoir, and her feet are much worse. She was very surprised when she first saw this video how similar his hands, shoulders, and his movements are to hers. I can attest that Renoir coped and exceled in spite of his condition. It can be a very aggressive, deforming, painful and crippling disease.

[@cjregister6766]

Thanks for this rare and great clip.

[@jonsilence]

One of the most astounding pieces of film in existence!

[@muffassa6739]

It's so amazing to see him at work. A pure genius and a great Artist.

[@og1kanobi40]

wow this is so freaking amazing!! wish there were more footage of the greats!!!!

[@maximhollandnederlandthene7640]

A real Artist never stops thinking and working. 🤗

[@Ziad3195]

I absolutely adore seeing videos like this of great masters.

[@AngelLopez-ef6zt]

Thank you hard work life and dedication very difficult to have a video from that time!

[@unemaindupeuple]

Une vidéo originale de Renoir : c'est tout bonnement incroyable. Je suis fasciné par ces anciens films.

[@alvarh9398]

Amazing. Reducing the speed to 0.5 and you’ll get the impression you’re even there. Thanks

[@joseeallyn9950]

The book by his son, Jean, is excellent..and busts a lot of the myths about Renoir.

[@taltal2977]

Wouldn't it be interesting to learn the year filmed? We thank you for sharing such a rare clip from what looks to be early 1900's. Such rare film footage is deserving of a 'million plus views' in just the next 12 months

[@Koni2947]

Stupéfiant de le voir 100 ans plus tard. Je le vois dans sont atelier. C'est l'histoire

[@jpl1462]

Sacha Guitry est l'auteur de ces séquences uniques consacrées aux grands artistes français de son temps (Renoir, Monet, Rodin, Degas, Saint-Saëns...) Il fut, avec Mirbeau, l'un des rares à être admis er bien accueilli chez Claude Monet à Giverny.

Creo haber leído que, debido a la artrosis de sus manos, terminó pintando con los pinceles atados a su puño. Eso es amar lo que haces.

sad to see someone so lucid and in the moment of life having to deal with an aged body.

[@brexander1]

I wonder how old Renoir is here?

[@verribarry]

According to Wikipedia he was born in 1841 and died in 1919....so this might not be filmed in 1920

[@brexander1]

@@verribarry see a painting Renoir painted of Vollard an art dealer, in 1908...

Tengo una litogafria original de renoir de 1912. la quiero vender pero no sé dónde. Ya la tube por un buen tiempo. Ya es hora de que algún fanático de renoir la tenga

[@restrepoher6430]

Sería interesante que la compartieras por este medio pero permítame preguntarle ¿De dónde la obtuvo?

[@jamiltoncano]

@@restrepoher6430 la optube en una tienda de segunda mano. Me llamo la atención lo hermosa y clasica que se veía la obra de arte. la compré y al llegar a casa ví que decía renoir. y la lleve a verificar y después de estudios científicos me dijeron que era una obra real y auténtica del gran impresionista pierre Auguste renoir. es una belleza ciento once años de historia. al verla lo transporta a uno a esos bellos tiempos no es una pintura es una litografía.

[@user-iq2yy5hl3t]

Where is sound?

[@PaulBurkhart]

This video is from 1920, seven years before the first film with sound was released in theaters.

[@cindyoverall8139]

I am a painter of 50+ years. The Impressionists were exactly that. They were one day painters who could not paint air as did say, the Tonalists or the Barbizon. Look at Monet's water lilies done in impasto. The essence of water lilies are their fragility. When personal style overrides subject matter, that is hubris. Compare Isaak Levitan to Monet. The Impressionists were a fad because they went against the Naturalist School that were rightly accepted by the Salon. Renoir was the worst of all because of his insipid pinks and baby blues. He was a feather painter. I. E. The Bathers. There have been many a forger of Impressionism. They each had a recipe that was sugary. Look at the Russian School that was at the same time.. My God, no comparison. George Inness said that Impressionist was mere claptrap. Janson and K. Clarke liked 19c. French male painters. And they never left Europe until the 20 c. You, obviously adhere to how art history has been taught for decades. I recommend going to The Hermitage and The Rijks museums.

[@joseeallyn9950]

I have been painting for nearly seventy years....! And I would give anything to paint like Renoir! Perhaps instead of denigrating Renoir you should show us some of your work!

[@user-fx7vy2ei8f]

...did he show him a Picasso?....

[@Sisyphe987]

Terrible quality for a 3 years old video

[@cindyoverall8139]

The Impressionists were well daubed. Unfortunately, JW Janson made them famous. Only European men in the 19c. There were far better artists all over the globe, especially Russia. Lots of women in Scandinavia. The Impressionists, especially Renoir's work which was sickeningly sweet, ad nauseum. Look up The Hague School, The Naturalists, The Newlyn School, the Barbizon, The Glasgow Boys... All superior to the French insipid school of one day painters.

[@austindarrenor]

All you're doing is telling everybody that you don't understand Impressionism.
