Barbara Ehrlich-White-Renoir. Private life. Gift book bound in leather

Renoir has had many trials. True life-overcoming was prepared for the author of bright, sparkling canvases, an unsurpassed singer of earthly joys, such as Renoir was destined to enter the history of painting. The biography, written by an authoritative researcher of the artist's life and work, Barbara Ehrlich-White, is based on many decades of studying the artist's work, published and unpublished sources, including contemporary testimonies, newspaper publications, as well as about three thousand letters written by Renoir, Renoir and about Renoir. The author piecemeal collects the image of one of the most familiar to the viewer and at the same time complex and ambiguous artists, with facts in hand refuting common misconceptions about his character, relationships with colleagues, dealers and models.
