The Truth About the Body That the Master Renoir Kept Hidden
What kind of stories have you heard about the final years of the master Auguste Renoir? “The master in a wheelchair painted continuously with brushes tied to his motionless hands with bandages.” You have probably heard such a painful yet touching episode at least once, haven’t you? However, is that story really true? Don’t you want to know the facts?
Let us examine actual history and medical investigations. Renoir has no surviving medical records in the modern sense. Later medical experts reconstructed his symptoms from surviving photographs, letters, and family records. According to research published in the medical journal BMJ, the onset was around 1892. It is estimated to be the period when he was around 50 years old. In a photograph from 1896, swelling can be seen in the joints of his fingers. Yet in 1901, he was still able to hold a pipe normally with his own hand.
From around 1903, his symptoms progressed rapidly. Major disabilities arose not only in his fingers but also in his right shoulder. His mobility also declined step by step. Around 1901 he used a single cane, in 1908 he required two canes, and from around 1912 he came to use a wheelchair regularly. Rheumatoid nodules formed on his back, and he underwent surgery in his later years. In 1918, gangrene in his foot was also recorded. Renoir’s figure seated in a wheelchair was the final stage of a disease that had progressed over more than 20 years.
Did you think he changed his artistic style because he fell ill? Actually, there is a surprising fact there. It was in the 1880s that Renoir moved toward an artistic style emphasizing outlines and human anatomy. That was long before his joint symptoms became distinct. The reason was his contact with classical paintings by artists such as Raphael during his trip to Italy in 1881. His artistic style did not change solely because of his illness. Through his own willpower, he opened the door to new expressions.
The True Secret Behind the Rumor and the Trick of Creation
Was Renoir really tying brushes to his hands? The answer is “no.” When examining photographs and family testimonies, the facts were different. He used brushes by inserting them between his deformed fingers. The bandages he placed on his hands were primarily to absorb sweat and protect his skin. They were by no means tools for fixing brushes to his hands.
He adapted to his bodily changes and painted with great ingenuity. When he could no longer support a palette with his hand for long periods, he placed it on his knees or the edge of the easel. He also utilized a specialized table attached to his wheelchair. When painting large canvases, he created a mechanism to move the screen up and down. When changing brushes, family, models, and assistants lent a hand. While cleverly utilizing the support around him, he continued to move his paintbrush.
Precious footage filmed in 1915 still remains today. It shows Renoir seated in a wheelchair, moving the paintbrush with his own hand in front of a model. While accepting his physical limitations, he created new tools and environments. And he produced paintings of Mediterranean landscapes, voluptuous nudes, and mythological worlds one after another. Those works had a major impact on young talents of the next generation, such as Matisse and Picasso. He was not an old man defeated by illness, but a revolutionary who constantly evolved forward.
The Ultimate Choice That Will Dramatically Change Your Every Day
Looking at Renoir’s way of life, what do you feel? Aren’t you amazed by his attitude of continuing to elevate his own value even as his physical environment changed?
