Sunset Sail, Alexandre Renoir

Renoir, Alexandre Sunset Sail 2021 25" x 20" Giclee in color with hand-embellishment on canvas. Hand-signed by the artist. From the Arabic numbered edition of 200 examples (200 Roman numbered proofs, 200 Arabic numbered international proofs, 200 Roman numbered international proofs, 90 Arabic numbered hors commerce proofs, 27 Arabic numbered European artist proofs, 27 Arabic numbered artist proofs and 27 Arabic numbered international European artist proofs also exist). Renoir creates vivid and textured paintings that build upon the foundations of Impressionism established by his great-grandfather, Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Instead of mixing his paints on a palette, Alexandre prefers to mix his paint directly on the canvas. The technique produces vibrant colors not seen in traditional, 19th-century Impressionism. His use of thick, impasto texture creates paintings infused with dimension and depth that harkens to Impressionism’s emphasis on light
