La Lecture Du Role by Renoir

in art •  7 years ago

Let me start off by saying I am not an art gallery person. It is not that I don’t like them, it is just not on the top of my list of things to do. Recently, an art person encouraged me to visit a gallery on a small college campus. I decided to go and I am so glad I did. I was blown away when I walked by this small picture of a young woman in a hat. It made me stop and look. It was painted by Renoir.

The display was protected by a thick clear cover piece, so please forgive that my photo is not a clear focus. My pic does not do the art justice. Here is a link to a print of the painting http://artmight.com/Artists-more/Renoir-Pierre-Auguste/renoir-reading-the-role-251103p.html I have included the description that was posted beside the painting.

The title of the painting is La Lecture Du Role or in English Reading the Role. I was drawn to this little painting. The color, the composition, the subtle action made me stop and look.

What do I know about brush stokes, nothing. Upon review, my thoughts focused on the central figure. I felt like this lady is forming her response to what was being read to her.

To me art is so objective. It is personal. What touches one does not appeal to another. I feel I was enriched by the experience of seeing this moving piece of art.

Let me know what you think.

Hello my friend @altportal how are you ?. With respect to the subject that you write in your publication, I can say that I am also not very fond of art, but without a doubt there are works of art that deserve to be admired as well as this one. There are few paintings and paintings that I like, but I can tell you my friend that I liked it a lot, since it is so perfect for those colors of the paintings, besides that when observing it many times you can appreciate the dedication and time that they put this picture Thank you for sharing this wonderful painting with us, I liked it a lot as well as you. My friend, I would like to invite you to my blog to watch a publication I did a few hours ago how to make condensed milk at home, the recipe is very easy and simple to make, I hope you can see it, and I will feel very excited if in a future you do this preparation to accompany it with some dessert of your preference or simply to make some cake. I hope you can prepare it some day and that the recipe is very useful for you. Thank you very much for the support, I hope you are having an excellent weekend.

Well, thanks for stopping by anyway. Always great to have you on the blog feed.
Your condensed milk recipe sounds very interesting.

How are you friend? How good that you encouraged me I have not visited any museum here in my country there is very little and are far from where I live I am like you art is not first in the things I want to do but if the opportunity is given it would be interesting to live that experience @altportal

Hello friend how are you, how's your Saturday? Many think that this is boring perhaps because they do not know it or have not visited some moseo, you can find interesting things I have visited some museums where there are objects that were used by some characters in the history of my country, this beautiful painting you managed to take some Another photo of some other painting?

Thank you! I have another AMAZING one to post in the next few days. Stay tuned!

Thanks, I'll be on the lookout!

Let me tell you that I have just learned something new today and is to know this work of art and know the name of the person who painted this so beautiful, if it catches the attention is something very small and do not worry about the photo can be detailed well the painting
