Brief introduction of Rehnova

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

( 184 1 —— 19 19)

Lei Nuowa was a French impressionist painter and sculptor. 1862, after deciding to take painting as his lifelong career, he imitated the works of Waldo ·﹝watteau﹞ in the Louvre. 1864, I met barbizon painter Diaz in Fontainebleau. Diaz encouraged him to improve the brightness of the picture and give up taking black as the shadow theme. Rehnova accepted this new concept, and at the same time, it was put forward by ﹝Delacroix﹞ and ﹝Manet﹞.

Painter Lei Nuowa's father was a tailor. 1848 came to Paris with his family and lived in an old house not far from the Louvre. Rehnova's earliest works were painted with chalk on the floor of his father's tailor's studio when he was a child. Parents saw that their son was good at drawing calculus, hoping that he would have a skill in the future, so they sent him to a ceramic factory in Limoges as an apprentice. Rehnova, who is only fourteen years old, can draw meticulous flower-and-bird paintings on ceramics. Because work is paid by piece, with a pair of skillful hands, Rehnova lived a comfortable life at a young age, and even helped his parents buy a house.

Unfortunately, Rehnova's prosperous time didn't last long, and his life took a turning point because of the industrial revolution. In the industrial revolution, machines replaced labor, and even the ceramic industry was not spared. Rehnova even organized an association against the massive involvement of machines, and finally lost to the trend of reality. Rehnova, who lost his job after studying painting with his teacher, had to temporarily work in a curtain factory, saved enough money, quit his job and registered as a student of the Academy of Fine Arts founded by painter Greere, hoping to improve his painting skills. Rehnova's enthusiasm is often disheartened. Once Greyhe shook his head when he saw Rehnova's paintings and said to him, "I hope at least painting can bring you fun!" Rehnova calmly replied, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be here. 」

It's not just the teachers of the Academy of Fine Arts who throw cold water on it. Rehnova began to develop into professional painting, made like-minded friends and became an important figure of Impressionism in the future. However, Rehnova did not taste the sweet fruit of success from the beginning. One day Manet saw Rehnova and Monet drawing together. Manet saw Rehnova's paintings and later quietly told Monet, "This boy really has no talent for painting. You are his friend. You might as well persuade him to give up early so as not to suffer. 」

After all, Rehnova didn't give up painting, but his financial difficulties and wandering life in the next twenty years made him uncertain about his choice and the future of Impressionism.

Being a late bloomer and writing constantly, at the crossroads of life, Rehnova met a beautiful and kind woman-Irene. Rehnova was neither young nor rich nor prestigious, but Irene decided to marry him despite her mother's objection. Irene firmly believes that the person she loves is destined to be a master painter. Irene is the Bole in Rehnova, and she will prove that she really has a good eye in the future.

After marriage, Rehnova's painting career did not improve, and it was not until Impressionism caused a sensation in new york that Rehnova's paintings began to be affirmed. Since then, it has soared and established its reputation in the painting world. Rehnova, who was a late bloomer, was in poor health in his later years because of his wife's depression. Renault used a wheelchair to walk instead of walking, and he still insisted on painting even though his fingers were stiff and could not be used flexibly. The people in the center tied the brush to their hands and continued to draw.

Rehnova and his wife had three sons, but none of them followed in their father's footsteps and became a painter. They are all developing in the film and television industry. Pierre Rehnova, the eldest, gave up his studies in the law department, developed into drama and became an excellent actor. Jean Reno, the second child, became a famous director in the future, and Claude, the third child, often served as his father's model when he was a child and became a film photographer when he grew up.

The artistic life of Rehnova's family gradually faded in the older generation and was passed down from generation to generation. Sophie Rehnova, the great-granddaughter of painter Rehnova, is now beginning to shine in the film and television circle. Sophie comes from an artistic family. She 13 co-produced her first film with Allen. Sophie, who is 3 1 year-old, is active in TV, movies and stage plays. She said, "It really makes me feel honored to be a member of the Rehnova family."

Father and son have the same experience: before they became famous, they both came a long way. Rehnova and his son have similar creative life experiences, but their love lives are totally different. Rehnova married late, and his wife Irene was the love of his life, while Jean Rehnova's love life was as dramatic as his film creation.

Rehnova was the only impressionist painter who devoted himself to figure painting, but he never neglected landscape painting and still life painting. In his works, he is famous for countless portraits praising the beauty of women and the innocence of children.

Rich works are the fruits of Rehnova's efforts for more than half a century. He was loyal to women, motherhood and childhood from beginning to end, showing an idealized modern life aesthetics.

Starting from 1869, Rehnova, who accompanied Monet in Bougiva and later in Arjuntel, showed that he was one of the supporters of Impressionism, and described the instantaneous reflection of objects under natural light with close juxtaposition strokes. But his most unique feature lies in his framing of contemporary life: (1874, collected by Coted Art Center in London), Ball of Pancake Mill (1876, collected by the Art Museum of Ossetia), and Mrs. Cher Bundhit and Her Children (1878, the Metropolitan Museum of New York).

In addition to being loyal to impressionist friends, Rehnova also paid attention to please the social circle of Sherbandir, a publisher who was very close to him. Besides attending salon exhibitions regularly and continuously, I also attend some avant-garde exhibitions from time to time. The development of Impressionism slowed down in the1880s, which made him reflect deeply and tried to return to simple lines and clear shapes. Inspired by Raphael's decorative paintings in Rome and ancient paintings in Pompeii, his efforts in this direction were strengthened: (188 1, Philip Collection, Washington). This self-proclaimed "extreme painting" was finally completed at 1887. Several paintings (Philadelphia, Philadelphia Museum of Art collection) have reached maturity.

In the following ten years, Rehnova returned to a softer technique with a slight tone change, and also tasted the fruits of success: the state bought this painting from him in 1892 Piano Girl.

The old painter rediscovered an eternal classicism along the Mediterranean coast where he often lived in his later years. At this time, the creation is dominated by figures, and there are also some tentative sculptures, as well as most nude female paintings with red as the main color. The Girl in the Bath (collected by the Art Museum of Ossetia), which was completed between 19 18 and19, is the pinnacle of his artistic form, fully expressing his desire to successfully integrate the female body and gorgeous nature.

In his later years, Rehnova's fingers were not flexible, so he had to tie his brush to his hand and continue painting. He died on 19 19.
