{"product_id":"renoir-father-and-son","title":"Renoir: Father and Son","description":"Beloved  impressionist  painter  Pierre-Auguste   Renoir left a vibrant legacy that influenced the  life and films of his son, the acclaimed director  Jean Renoir.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The  impressionist  paintings  of  Pierre- Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) are characterized  by portraits and lively episodes from daily life.  These joyful scenes influenced the life and  work of his son, filmmaker Jean Renoir (1894- 1979), who Orson Welles described as \"the  greatest of all directors.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e       This catalogue-and the traveling exhibition  it accompanies-demonstrates how Pierre- Auguste Renoir's artistic practice and creative  universe influenced Jean's art, and how Jean's  films shed new light on his father's paintings.       Focusing on core themes in both artists'  works, such as their vision and recreation  of Paris, this volume examines Jean's path to  becoming a prominent international filmmaker,  bringing together paintings, drawings, films,  costumes,  and  photos-as  well  as  the   ceramics he made before he turned to cinema.  Contributions from the Barnes Foundation- with its collection of 181 works by Pierre- Auguste Renoir along with pottery by Jean  Renoir -the Musée de l'Orangerie and the  Cinématheque Française provide in-depth  insight into this complex, fruitful relationship  between painting and cinema.","brand":"Flammarion S.A.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665126592548,"sku":"9782080203809","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9782080203809.jpg?v=1773247222","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/renoir-father-and-son","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
