Now on view at LACMA: Renoir in the 20th Century, called a “groundbreaking exhibition” by London’s Independent, assembles more than 100 paintings, drawings, and sculptures in a reconsideration of the artist’s late work.

Renoir in the 20th Century

Renoir in the 20th Century offers an unprecedented look at the iconic artist through more than 100 paintings, drawings, and sculptures from the last three decades of his life—a period which saw the artist’s rise to incredible success, but also his abandonment of impressionism. Illuminating parallels between Renoir’s paintings and works by Picasso, Matisse, and others, the exhibition demonstrates the sway of Renoir’s art during the twentieth century.
On view February 14 – May 9, 2010.
