I recently did a cyber hunt and found out some interesting things about him. He was an impressionist artist but likes to use the color black.

I was really disappointed that there was no information on Renoir. I have a print of "Ball at the Moulin De La Galette" and love it. However, I like this site. It will be neat to see how it develops over time.
