Impressionist Painting Beach Scene by George Renouard (American 1885-1954)
By George Renouard
Located in Rochester, NY
American Impressionist beach scene by George Renouard. Painting depicts a family of bathers at the shore. The figures are three dimensional. The colors are both bold and soft. Figural paintings by Renouard are rare. This is a master piece by the artist. Oil on canvas board. In a period frame. Circa 1950. Presented by Joseph Dasta Antiques George A. Renouard (American, 1884-1954) noted painter, printer and graphic artist. His career spanned more than forty years, between the years of 1914 until his death in 1954. Born in Rochester, NY and later moved to New York City. He studied at the Pratt Institute & Erasmus Hall in Brooklyn, also at the Art Students League, NYC under John Sloan and Mahonri Young. Renouard lived & maintained a studio on the Lower East Side of New York. Renouard’s father became well known for his invention of a type of embalming fluid and was moderately wealthy during this time period. As a result, it afforded George a life of leisure to pursue his passion of painting.

Many of his works clearly show the love and empathy that he had for his fellow man. He actively painted along the south shore in Brooklyn, Long Island, Staten Island, Vermont, the Catskill Mountains, the Berkshires, as well as Rockport, Massachusetts and its environs. He is well known for his beautiful landscapes, seascapes, portrait...
