Mendès was a well-known writer and publisher of Symbolist poetry; his companion, Augusta Holmès, a virtuoso pianist and composer, was the mother of these girls. <br/><br/>Renoir sent the portrait to a group exhibition in 1888 that was a critical disaster; the painting was ignored again at the 1890 Salon. It has since emerged, however, as one of Renoir’s most impressive works, realized in his new, aggressive coloristic style. In the fluid brushwork and treatment of theme, the portrait pays homage to Fragonard and other eighteenth-century genre painters.<br/><br/><span class="st">— <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/110002470?rpp=20&pg=1&ft=renoir&pos=2" target="_blank">source</a></span></p></blockquote> <p>Can’t help reblogging this one as well… Dates+names!!! +the future??….</p>http://monseuldesir.tumblr.com/post/50011420201http://monseuldesir.tumblr.com/post/50011420201Thu, 09 May 2013 15:40:59 +0200renoirfrenchimpressionismpaintingportraitchildrenmusician19th centurycatulle mendèsaugusta holmèsgirlartart history
