“Renoir: The Body, The Senses” – The Curators’ View

“His nudes . . . the loveliest nudes ever painted: no one has
done better—no one.” – Henri Matisse


 


This new episode of “Art Minded” focuses on the Kimbell’s current
special exhibition, Renoir: The Body, The Senses, the only
exhibition to celebrate the centenary of the artist’s death and
the first major exhibition to focus on Renoir’s nudes.


 


The Kimbell’s deputy director, George Shackelford, discusses the
exhibition with co-curator Esther Bell, the Robert and Martha
Berman Lipp Senior Curator of the Clark Art Institute. The two
discuss the conception of the exhibition, key works and themes,
the evolution of Renoir, and the artist’s enduring legacy in
modern art.
