MAPLEWOOD, NJ — Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s philosophy can be summed up in this quote: “A picture must be an amiable thing, joyous and pretty — yes, pretty! There are enough troublesome things in life without inventing others.” Renoir’s joie de vivre made him one of the most beloved impressionist painters. On Thursday, April 26, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Columbia High School’s Black Box Theatre, 17 Parker Ave. in Maplewood, join the South Orange-Maplewood Adult School for a talk that will examine Renoir’s long and productive life, his voluptuous nudes, luxurious flowers, pretty children, bustling Parisian streets and sunny outdoor scenes that are full of people and fun. The class will be taught by award-winning art history educator Janet Mandel.
Admission is charged. For more information, call 973-378-7620 or visit www.somadultschool.org.
