First Comprehensive Study of Renoir's Full-Length Canvases Brings Together Iconic Works from Europe and the U.S. For an Exclusive New York City Exhibition.
This winter and spring The Frick Collection presents an exhibition of nine iconic
Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first
comprehensive study of the artist’s engagement with the full-length format. Its
use was associated with the official Paris Salon from the mid-1870s to mid-
1880s, the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist
aesthetic. The project was inspired by Renoir’s La Promenade of 1875–76, the
most significant Impressionist work in the Frick’s permanent collection.
