Renoir exposition in Paris

This past week I was invited to the open house of the Renoir exposition hosted by the Paris Cinematheque Francaise (located at 51 Rue de Bercy 75012 Paris, Metro Bercy). It was a tribute to painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and his son, the movie maker Jean-Renoir. Many of Renoir's paintings were on display in this gallery and Jean-Renoir's movies were being shown in parallel in order to demonstrate the links between the paintings and the movies made. Many of the characters were used by both the painter and the movie maker for their work and the results are excellent.

The exposition will be on until January 9th 2006.
