A Crosscurricular Project

Last week we were talking about some French Artist as Renoir, Braque or Cézanne.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841 - 1919) was a French painter who painted about 6000 pictures during the 60 years he worked as an artist. When he was 4 years old his family moved to Paris.
Renoir began as a singer but decided to be a painter when he was 13.
Later he met Edgar Degas and Edouard Manet and became one of the first 'Impressionists'. His work was light and lively showing scenes of daily Paris life with people socialising and enjoying life.

Here are some paintings by this great French painter.


Other artist was the american Roi Lichtenstein one of the biggest names in Pop art.
In Barcelona there is one of his works.
