We are very excited to share that our Renoir is currently traveling from The Morgan Library & Museum in New York to the Musée d'Orsay in Paris for the second showing of the exhibition RENOIR DRAWINGS.
This is the first exhibition to be dedicated to Renoir’s drawings and highlights the importance of graphic techniques in his artistic development. It also reveals the close relationship between his paintings and his drawings, in particular from the 1880s onwards when he began to move away from Impressionism.
While on view at the Morgan Library & Museum the exhibition drew some 123,000 visitors of the course of its sixteen-week run. It was praised in the Wall Street Journal as an "enlightening" exhibition of Renoir's "frequently stunning" works on paper, while the New Yorker commented that it afforded visitors the "privilege to become more intimate with his experiments in perception and the evocative beauty of things being left unfinished."
The exhibition opens at the Musée d'Orsay on March 17 and will be on view through July 5, 2026.
