‘The style of the 1870's[ce]* was formless from the traditional standpoint, and at the beginning** of the next decade Renoir decided that he had gone to the limit with Impressionism and “did not know either how to paint or draw.”*** Struck by experiences of painting in Italy, he set about teaching himself a wiry, linear style that was apparently at the opposite extreme to his relaxed, freely brushed manner of earlier years.’
