Auguste Renoir was among the greats of the Impressionist Movement, and though he moved from loose brushwork, suggested borders, and diffuse reflections of that style to a refined realism in his later years, he always preferred a female as the subject. Renoir’s “Umbrellas” uses the airy brushwork and contrasting hues typical of Impressionism.
