Pierre-Auguste Renoir filled his paintings with light and beauty. Unlike
his contemporaries, plein-air painters of landscapes, he filled his
canvases with human movement: the swish of silk; the crackle of a
crinoline. The Short Biographies series from Applewood's Benna Books
imprint features short, intriguing, and entertaining biographies of
world-renowned figures. Each beautiful hardcover book includes an
interesting retelling of a single person's life, suitable for young
adults and adults alike. These little gems will become beloved souvenirs
of a favorite artist or a memorable trip to a museum.
