Pierre-Auguste Renoir

I paint what I see, and I see beauty everywhere.

The true artist is always a slave to his vision.

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.

In art, as in love, instinct is enough.

The palette is the school of the artist.

To paint is to love again.

Impressionism is the newspaper of art.

The world is full of beautiful things, but none as beautiful as a woman's smile.

Critics are like eunuchs; they know how it's done but can't do it themselves.

Everyday life is the raw material of art.

Freedom in art comes from discipline.

I find joy in the simple act of painting.

Colors are the smiles of nature.

The artist's life is a perpetual intoxication.

Beauty is composed of small things.

To be an Impressionist is to catch the fleeting moment.

Love of beauty is taste; creation of beauty is art.

Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.

The great artists are those who impose their personal vision on the world.
