Synopsis

In an exhibition shown from 20 January to 27 May 1996, the Kunsthalle Tubingen presented a thoughtfully prepared selection of many of Renoir's most important paintings from his more than five decades of creative life. The first comprehensive, scholarly retrospective ever devoted to the artist in Germany and presented only in Tubingen, the exhibition offered a view of a significant cross-section of the painter's complete oeuvre. Each of the works exhibited is illustrated in this volume in a full-page plate. Paintings representing the full spectrum of Renoir's themes and including some of the most noteworthy works in major international collections and museums in such cities as Washington, D.C., New York, Philadelphia, Sao Paulo, Stockholm, Madrid, London, Paris, St. Petersburg, Zurich, Tokyo, Hiroshima and Berlin - all were provided on loan for the exhibition - provide enlightening insights into the work of this artistic genius.
