Renoir

“In judiciously written and compelling text and vibrant images suited to each man’s conflictful world, Simon and Lemonnier sensitively and dynamically capture the risks and triumphs of each daring artist and the power of their innovative, life-affirming, indelible creations.” * Booklist *
“Renoir: Father and Son is a lushly illustrated double biography that tells the story of the famous French painter and his famous film-director son. It’s a gorgeous book to look at. It transported me to another place and time with its soft, dreamy hues.” * The London Free Press *
“Renoir: Father and Son is no comic book of yore. This is a kinder and gentler take on the graphic novel. Jak Lemonnier has created a stellar work of art in a format that old man Renoir and his son would have approved of.” * Bonjour Paris *
“Renoir: Father and Son is a stylistic departure from [Lemonnier’s] other work – taking on a more detailed, almost painterly style in deference to its two subjects.” * The Beat *
