An exhibition featuring artworks by Alexandre Renoir and his ancestor, renowned French Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, will open at the Tennessee State Museum on Tuesday, April 15 and runs through Sunday, June 8.
The exhibit, entitled Strokes of Genius: The Works of Pierre-Auguste & Alexandre Renoir - Art from Private Collections will include not only Alexandre Renoir’s work, and that of his great-grandfather, but seldom seen artwork from the private collections of Pierre-Auguste Renoir and friends. This includes Impressionist work from the great artists of that period such as Mary Cassatt, Paul Cezanne, Edouard Manet, Camille Pissarro, and Jean-Fran Raffaelli.
Members of the Tennessee State Museum Foundation will have a chance to meet Alexandre Renoir and experience his ethereal work at the opening reception of Strokes of Genius on Sunday, April 13 from 2:00pm-4:00pm at the museum. Alexandre will return to Nashville on Friday, June 6, where he will be on hand for the final weekend of the Strokes of Genius exhibition, and a walking tour for museum visitors, as well as a workshop for children. Selected works of the exhibit and works of Alexandre Renoir will be offered for purchase in a private offering on the evening of June 7 and afternoon of June 8.
