Pierre Auguste Renoir
Representative Impressionist writers such as Monet painted 'the momentary impression of nature'. On the other hand, Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) tried to capture the expression of people's happy moments, not nature. He believed, "Even if the current life is gloomy, pictures should contain joy and beauty." He wanted to share happiness with people through paintings, so he drew a lot of women and children. The expressions of the people in these works were vividly expressed using the soft light and shadow. He loved painting so much that it was not easy to work because he was old and had terrible arthritis. Still, he endured the pain and never stopped painting.
