Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists #33: Pierre Auguste Renoir
Author/illustrator Mike Venezia has been getting to know the world's greatest artists for as long as he can remember. A graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Mike believes the best way to introduce children to art and artists is through fun. If children can learn about art in a fun way, and think of artists as real people, the exciting world of art will be open to them for the rest of their lives. Mike lives in a Chicago suburb with his wife, Jeannine, and children Michael Anthony and Elizabeth Ann.rnWhile studying Renoir and the Impressionist movement of the 19th century, Mike was inspired to try his hand at painting happy, joyful moments of contemporary life. After weeks of searching, Mike failed to find such moments, and decided to start a brand-new art movement, which he calls Depressionism.
