Description

Step inside the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, where a collection of 181 Renoir paintings resides. But these aren’t his impressionist works—they are his nudes, the merit of which is the subject of a hot discussion in the art world. Are they sexist? Just plain bad? Or are they more brilliant works from one of history’s greatest artists, which are simply misunderstood? In this unique look at Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s late career, hear from both sides of the debate and decide for yourself. This insightful doc is paired with our Curious Minds course on the Impressionists.
