PierreAuguste Renoir is known and loved for his impressionist paintings of Paris These paintings count among the worlds favourites Renoir however grew tired of this style and changed course This film based on the collection of 181 Renoirs at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia examines the direction he then took and why it provokes such extreme reactions right up to today Some claim they are repulsed by Renoirs later works and some claim they are seduced What may surprise many is that among the many artists who sought Renoirs new works out and were clearly highly influenced by them were the two giants of the 20th century Picasso and Matisse
