Reflexion by Renoir


Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) was a French artist during the late 1800s-early 1900s and an Impressionist icon. His works were concern with personal and intimate settings but his famous pieces were centered around and expressed women’s elegance and serenity(Newman 33). In Reflexion , Renoir paints entirely with black which contrasts sharply with the redness of the flower in her hat and the women’s lips. It is a foundation piece that would solidify our direction and approach to defining art. Through Reflexion, the general public and art community would “see” that an appreciation of art is necessary for everyday life.
