Changes

Some art historians consider the following periods in Renoir's artworks: "The beginnings" 1862 - 1869, "Impressionism" 1870-1878, "dry" or "Ingres period" from 1881 to 1888 (a more decorative and traditional style), "the pearly period" after 1890, Renoirs work moved in a new direction yet again... he returned to using thin brush strokes and became less concerned with outlines... epic nudes and domestic scenes", "... "late career" early twentieth century, Renoirs style changed again and he opted for stronger colors - often reds and oranges - and thick brush strokes... the female nude was a favorite subject of Renoirs and he depicted details of the scene through freely-brushed spots of color which fused his figures and their surroundings."
