Renoir and Me

This is a lively and beautifully illustrated children's guide to the
life and work of the French Impressionist painter Pierre Auguste Renoir.

'I'm like a little cork thrown into the water and carried away by the
current, I paint whatever comes to me. I do not have any
rules, nor techniques ....' This is what Renoir tells us about
himself.

Renoir was a painter who believed in doing his own thing and his
portraits of young girls and children and his sunny landscapes are
filled with joy and light. Filled with wonderful images, the book
contains projects and games to delight young readers and help them
enter the unforgettable world of Renoir's paintings.
