Will it be extended until Father’s Day?įrom 6th November 2018 to 27th January 2019 The exhibition is supposed to be on till the end of January. Through paintings, film clips, photos, costumes, posters, drawings and other miscellaneous documents, one can rediscover the sometimes hidden influence that the artist had on his director son. Let us recall immediately that Jean Renoir adored his father and that he worked for nearly twenty years on Pierre-Auguste Renoir, my Father, the splendid biography which he dedicated to him (and which is still available at Folio). The exhibition explores a blessed relationship where ties of blood did not ever turn bloody. An exhibition now at the Musée d’Orsay, in Paris, looks at their relationship. Jean satirized the aristocracy and upended his father’s saccharine scenes of leisure. ![]() To put an end to any parricidal urge, one can visit the Renoir exhibition named Father and Son, Painting and Cinema, this winter, at the Musée d’Orsay.
