Renoir, My Father Writer A selection of family photographs are also scattered about. His pictures are demonstrations of over-all unity. He was also the brother of Pierre Renoir, a noted French stage and film actor; the uncle of Claude Renoir, a cinematographer; and the father of Alain Renoir, late professor emeritus of comparative literature at the University of California at Berkeley. That and his "French-iness" made him hard for me to understand at times. Add to Watchlist. Mar 10, Seth Kupchick rated it it was amazing.

The family was poor and, from the age of thirteen to eighteen, he painted porcelain vases. He merely tried to paint Nature by what was in him. I also recently visited Paris and the descriptions of the city and the changes that occurred at the turn of the 20th century were so visually written that it solidified my memories of different areas, like Montmartre. While familiar with a number of his paintings, I did not know much about the man.

  • Jean Renoir, Ses Environnement
    Jean Renoir, ses environnements, sa créativité Thomas Rabeyron Professeur de psychologie clinique et psychopathologie Université de Lorraine (Interpsy ; Psyclip) 1 1. Introduction L’étude de l’activité créatrice aide à mieux saisir la nature des processus de transformation au cœur de la psyché, processus qui se caractérisent notamment par une articulation complexe avec l’environnement. Nous proposons donc dans ce travail d’étudier son rôle dans la création cinématographique à partir de l’œuvre du réalisateur français Jean Renoir (1894 -1979). Renoir apparaît en effet comme un sujet de choix pour aborder le rôle de l’environnement dans le processus de création, évoquant à de multiples reprises son intérêt pour cette thématique : « Je crois que tout être humain, artiste ou non, est en grande partie un produit de son environnement » (p.8). Nous proposerons ainsi quelques réflexions visant à éclairer la créativité de Renoir à partir des différents environnements qu’il a pu traverser et ce qu’il a pu nous en dire dans ses écrits1 (Renoir, 1962, 1974, 1996, 2005). 2. Genèse d’une vocation et environnement familial Quelques éléments tout d’abord concernant la genèse de la vocation de Renoir dans le cadre de son environnement familial, ce qui nous conduira dans un premier temps à relever certains éléments biographiques, pour mieux saisir son parcours de création. Renoir découvre le cinéma grâce à Gabrielle, sa nourrice, cousine de sa mère et modèle de son père. Gabrielle le conduit un jour aux grands magasins Dufayeloù se déroule une projection lors de laquelle le jeune Renoir, effrayé par le bruit rythmé de la Croix de Malte, découvre à l’écran une rivière et un crocodile.

  • Final Weeks of Popular Jean Renoir Retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release November 1994 FINAL WEEKS OF POPULAR JEAN RENOIR RETROSPECTIVE AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART The Museum of Modern Art's popular retrospective of the complete extant work of director Jean Renoir (1894-1979), one of cinema's great masters, continues through November 27, 1994. Presented in commemoration of the centenary of the director's birth, the exhibition comprises thirty-seven works, including thirty-three films by Renoir and a 1993 BBC documentary about the filmmaker by David Thompson. Twenty-three of the works by Renoir have been drawn from the Museum's film archives. Many of the remaining titles are also from the Cinematheque frangaise, Paris, and Interama, New York. The son of the Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Jean Renoir produced a rich and complex oeuvre that mined the spectacle of life, in all its fascinating inconstancy. In 1967 he said, "I'm trying to discover human beings, and sometimes I do." Although critics and scholars disagree on how to categorize Renoir's films -- some believe that his work can be divided into periods, while others argue that his films should be viewed as an indivisible whole -- there is no dissent about their integrity. His works are unfailingly humane, psychologically acute, and bursting with visual and aural moments that propel the narratives. - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 Highlights of the second half of the program include a new 35mm print of La Bete humaine (The Beast in Man, 1938), a powerful adaptation of a novel by Emile Zola, previously available in the United States only in 16mm.

    Jean Renoir In 1975 Jean Renoir was awarded an honorary Academy Award for his lifetime contribution to film. He is PROFILE COLLECTION considered one of the first great auteurs, a cinematic master whose distinctive style always contained a concern for human issues and a reverence for natural beauty. As the son of the great impressionist painter, Auguste Renoir, the filmmaker as a young man was encouraged to freely explore artistic and intellectual pursuits. He eventually chose ceramics, but during a long convalescence, developed a passion for film. He started his own production company in 1924, largely in order to launch the acting career of his wife, Catherine Hessling.

  • FROM IMPRESSIONISM to POP ART Under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco
    UNDER THE HIGH PATRONAGE OF HIS SERENE HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT II OF MONACO FROM IMPRESSIONISM TO POP ART Under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco FROM IMPRESSIONISM TO POP ART Après l’immense succès de l’exposition “Picasso” en 2011, Opera Gallery Monaco présente cet été “de l’Impressionnisme au Pop Art”. Une exposition prestigieuse qui, à travers plus de 50 tableaux et dessins de grands Maîtres, nous permet de suivre la période de l’Histoire de l’Art qui va de la Révolution impressionniste au choc du Pop Art. Les tubes d’étain ont été inventés vers 1840, ils ont permis aux peintres impressionnistes de sortir de leur atelier pour aller peindre des paysages “sur le motif”, c’est-à-dire dans la nature. De la même manière, la peinture acrylique diluable à l’eau est créée en 1963, elle est immédiatement adoptée par les peintres Pop Art. Andy Warhol, est le premier utilisateur de cette peinture industrielle qui accompagne de manière pertinente son discours sur la société de consommation. Entre ces deux écoles illustrées par des tableaux de Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir d’un coté et Andy Warhol de l’autre, nous découvrons des œuvres de Fernand Léger, Marc Chagall mais aussi Joan Miró avec le splendide tableau Untitled, 1960 ou encore Fernando Botero. Enfin, nous n’avons pas résisté au plaisir de mettre en page de couverture du catalogue la gouache et aquarelle Les Grâces naturelles de René Magritte, un hommage au Maître du Surréalisme dans sa période influencée par Renoir, tout un symbole pour cette exposi- tion qui retrace la période de l’Histoire de l’Art aujourd’hui la plus prisée par les collectionneurs avertis et la plus recherchée par les amateurs de “valeurs refuges”.

  • Intervention Sur La Grande Illusion (Jean Renoir,1937) Pour L'association Clair Obscur Par Vincent Avenel (
    Intervention sur La grande illusion (Jean Renoir,1937) pour l'association Clair Obscur par Vincent Avenel (www.24-regards-seconde.com) 1) Introduction Fils de Pierre-Auguste Renoir, l'un des peintres les plus prolifiques du mouvement impressionniste, Jean Renoir va marquer non seulement le cinéma français mais le monde cinématographique de son empreinte. A tel point qu'il sera adopté par les frondeurs de la Nouvelle Vague qui en feront leur symbole, François Truffaut allant même jusqu'à le surnommer "le patron". Avec la volonté de s'approprier les codes alors quasi obligatoires du cinéma classique, codes dont il ne s'éloignera malgré tout jamais complètement tout au long de sa cinématographie (tournages fréquents en studio, respect régulier de l'échelle des plans et des raccords), il va imposer sa personnalité, mélange de droiture et d'originalité, et montrer son talent dans une grande variété de registres allant du témoignage social, avec en fond les théories marxistes, jusqu'au film "de guerre", tout en jouant avec les règles du drame ou de la comédie. Pour cela, il va créer "sa" famille de cinéma et travailler successivement avec des acteurs comme Michel Simon, Jean Gabin, Jules Berry, son frère Pierre Renoir, Louis Jouvet, Dalio, Julien Carette, Claude Rich, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Simone Simon ou encore Paulette Goddard. Il cherche à montrer sa vision d'un homme à double-facette, agissant face aux événements mais aussi simple marionnette de la vie. Passionné de théâtre, cette notion l'amène naturellement à montrer que ses personnages sont sur la scène de la vie (voir l'introduction de La chienne, Le carrosse d'or ou Le petit théâtre de Jean Renoir), quand il ne situe pas directement son histoire dans le milieu du music-hall (comme dans French cancan).
