Pierre-Auguste Renoir is French painter who was important figure in the development of the Impressionist movement. As a celebrator of feminine beauty "Renoir is the last representative of a tradition which runs in a straight line from Rubens to Watteau." Renoirs artworks are famous for their vivacious light and saturated color; most frequently focusing on people in friendly and intimate compositions. The female nudes were one of his primary themes. In typical Impressionist manner; Renoir suggested the details of a picture through liberally brushed touches of color; so that his figures softly fuse with one another and their environment. Famed for his sensual nudes and charming scenes of pretty women; Renoir was a far more complex and thoughtful painter than generally assumed. From the 1880s until well into the twentieth century; he developed a monumental; classically inspired style that influenced such avant-garde giants as Pablo Picasso.

Sherrow*I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.*I am new to quilt-making and wanted to find something that would be beginner friendly. Although I believe this book wasnt necessarily intended for newbies. it has enough information and fantastic pictures depicting everything you need to know. As a beginner. I cant attest to whether or not the projects actually take 24 hours to make as the name implies. but since they are so easy. I assume anyone who has been making quilts a while could easily make any of them in the time allotted. My favorite patterns where the pinwheel patterns. especially the rugged pinwheels. I am making it for my bed. but I could see it being a great baby quilt as well. Ill admit I didnt like some of the fabrics used in the book. but that doesnt take away from the quilt patterns themselves. Changing out the fabric choices is easy enough.
