| − | '''Pierre-Auguste Renoir''' lived from 1841 to 1919. He was born on February 25, 1841, at Limoges, [[France]] and died on December 3, 1919, at Cagnes sur Mer, France. His family moved to Paris in 1844. Renoir was a famous painter of [[Impressionism]], perhaps the only artist who never produced a sad [[painting]]. He believed that art needs to be pretty, and eventually left Impressionism to paint classical nudes, [[landscape]]s and [[portraits]]. | + | '''Pierre-Auguste Renoir''' lived from 1841 to 1919.
