Renoir, 1978

Anthea Callen's book on French Impressionist Auguste Renoir was the first serious study devoted to the painter's technique. Her recent major volume 'The Art of Impressionism: Painting Technique and the Making of Modernity' (Yale, 2000) took this study further and contextualised it within the Impressionist movement as a whole. See also Callen's essay 'Renoir: The Matter of Gender', in John House (ed.), Renoir, Master Impressionist, exhibition catalogue, Queensland Art Gallery, 1994, pp.40-51, for a feminist analysis of his technique.
