Question

Contrast the work of Renoir and Lautrec. How do the subjects styles of the artists reflect nineteenth century French society and the innovations of nineteenth century art?

Answer 1

Both the painters Renoir and Lautrec were known for their work as an artist, born in France. Each of the artists had a different style of work in art. Renoir is known for his impressionist style in the 1870s which helped him gain his reputation and his work in Europe. Renoir and Lautrec were motivated differently and displayed them in their pieces of art.

Renoir works show landscapes, people carrying out the activity, like dancing, walking. Lautrec’s paintings, on the other hand, were done on nightlife with using dull colors. Lautrec’s interests were more of drawings then painting like Renoir.
