Bouquet of Chrysanthemums

Auguste Renoir (French) 1881 According to Renoir himself, he believed that still life paintings provided him with a greater sense of artistic freedom and experimentation compared to his figure paintings. In discussing his approach to painting flowers, Renoir expressed a liberating feeling that allowed him to freely explore different tones and values without the concern of damaging the canvas. He emphasized that this level of creative exploration would not be as easily applied to figure paintings, as he would be more cautious about potentially ruining the work. Renoir's preference for still lifes as a space for artistic exploration is evident in his dedication to capturing the beauty and essence of flowers in his vibrant and expressive compositions.
