An exhibit titled “Renoir + Renoir” will be on display at the Bunkamura Museum of Art until May 6th. The exhibit focuses on two great masters — painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) and his son Jean Renoir (1894-1979).
Both men had a love of nature and depicted joyful scenes in their work. On display are 50 paintings by the elder Renoir, including “The Swing” (1876) and “The Country Dance” (1883), and still photographs from 15 films directed by the younger Renoir, including “A Day in the Country” (1936) and “Picnic on the Grass” (1959).
