NYC (P) - Renoir’s Drawings at The Morgan Library (3:00pm)
About this event
Tuesday, January 20, 2026, 3:00 PM
Drawing remained central to his artistic practice even as his interests and ambitions changed over the course of his long career. Thematic sections will cover the full span of the artist’s career, ranging from academic studies he made as a student, to on-the-spot impressions of contemporary urban and rural life, to finished, formal portraits, to intimate sketches of friends and family completed late in life. In-depth case studies of favored themes and preparatory work for landmark canvases will further illuminate Renoir’s practice of drawing.
Inspired by the major gift to the Morgan of a large-scale preparatory sketch for one of Renoir’s most significant paintings, The Great Bathers, this exhibition is the first in a century to explore the artist’s works on paper in depth. Organized by the Morgan Library & Museum and the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, Renoir Drawings brings together nearly one hundred drawings, pastels, watercolors, prints, and a small selection of paintings, enabling visitors to engage with Renoir’s creative process while offering insights into his artistic methods over five decades.
Arriving participants will proceed directly to the JP Morgan Chase Lobby without stopping at the Information/Membership Desk. Upon arrival, participants will have the opportunity to use the restrooms prior to the start of the tour. The tour will start promptly at 3:00 pm. Latecomers cannot be accommodated.
After the Tour (optional)
After the tour, there will be an hour when the Museum will be open, and you will be able to self-guide until 5:00 pm.
For those who are interested, we will be going out for a bite (pay-on-your-own) following the exhibit around 5:00 pm.
