内容提要：

皮埃尔-奥古斯特·雷诺阿（1841-1919年）是印象派的创始人之一，也是莫奈、毕沙罗和西斯莱的朋友。他在塞纳河畔与莫奈并肩工作，与其分享对光线和色彩的关注，但风景画从未取代其对人物画的持久热爱。雷诺阿晚年越发频繁地描绘丰富的裸体曲线，他也很喜欢捕捉巴黎生活的精彩。他的艺术充满了乐观主义，他绘画是因为艺术为他带来快乐，这是其终生哲学，他与观看其作品的人分享这种快乐。其作品几乎总是描绘夏日场景，如在《煎饼磨坊的舞会》《布吉瓦尔之舞》和《船上的午宴》等画作中，他记录下当时人们休闲放松和享受生活的片段。

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) was one of the founders of Impressionism and a friend of Monet, Pissarro and Sisley. He worked side-by-side with Monet on the banks of the Seine, sharing his concern with light and colour, but landscape painting never displaced his enduring love of figure painting. Delighting in the ample curves of the nudes he painted increasingly frequently in his later years, Renoir was also a master at capturing the spirit of Parisian life.

His art is filled with optimism - his lifelong philosophy was that he painted because it gave him pleasure, and he shares that pleasure with those who see his work. It is almost always summer in his pictures, and in paintings like Moulin de la Galette, The Dance at Bougival and The Luncheon of the Boating Party he gives us an enduring record of contemporaries relaxing and enjoying their leisure.
