This book of postcards offers a rich sampling of the paintings of Pierre-Auguste Renoir . Renoirs mastery of color and extraordinary facility in the use of paint were his strengths; his work compares in these respects with that of any of his great predecessors. He believed that his paintings should be likeable, joyous, and pretty: his paintings of figures, interiors, and landscapes show an engaging strength, delicacy, and charm.
