Nature's Workshop: Renoir`s Writings on the Decorative Arts

by Robert L. Herbert and Professor Robert L. Herbert

Book Overview

This book shows Auguste Renoir in an entirely new light, revealing an artist far more complex and thoughtful than previously believed. Seven unknown and unpublished texts written by Renoir, along with four other writings once published but now largely forgotten, are presented here in both French and English. They identify Renoir as an impassioned critic of architecture, architectural decoration, and the education of artists.
