Exotic Studies

This Met x Wendover Art Group design is a reproduction of an original work of art in The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection.
Our inspiration: Studies of Landscape, Trees, and Exotic Fruit
Auguste Renoir (French, 1841–1919)
Watercolor and ink over graphite; 12 1/2 x 18 3/4 in.; ca. 1885
Rogers Fund, 1966 66.96
While famed for his sensual nudes and charming scenes of women, Renoir was a far more complex and thoughtful painter than generally assumed. He was a founding member of the Impressionist movement, though he ceased to exhibit with the group after 1877. From the 1880s until well into the 20th century, he developed a monumental, classically inspired style that influenced such avant-garde giants as Pablo Picasso.
