Renoir: Revered and Reviled, 2016 | Directed by Phil Grabsky, UK, 85 mins, English, Hebrew subtitles
Pierre Auguste Renoir is known and loved for his Impressionist paintings of Paris, which rank among the world’s favorites. Renoir, however, ultimately grew tired of this style, and changed course. This stunning film—based on the remarkable Renoir collection at Philadelphia’s Barnes Foundation, which includes 181 works by the artist—explores his new approach. These later works still provoke extreme reactions. Two of the titans of twentieth century art—Picasso and Matisse—are, intriguingly, among the many artists clearly influenced by Renoir’s later style. This film is a new biography of an artistic giant, uncovering an untold story that identifies him as a significant link between the art world’s old order and the new.
