The Theater Box (French La loge)
is one of the masterpieces
of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who was a
well-known French artist of
the Impressionist style. In Renoirs paintings,
he always shows his appreciation for the beauty
and the feminine sensuality. This painting, The
Theater Box, has not actually achieved the
non-black assertion of Impressionist. It
brings about the sharp contrast with black
stripes. It is the only work that had not
2
been received too much criticism in the
Impressionists art exhibition.
The painter created well-dressed woman in the
theater box according to his impression gained
from the theater. And then he went back
to his studio beginning making his work. It is
interesting to note that it is an
Impressionist painting done indoors. The
painter successfully showed us the
real atmosphere in the box of the
theater, especially the expression of the
two characters. Their faces were so natural and
seemed concentrating themselves on the show.
Though there are only two people appeared in the
painting, the painter was able to clearly
highlight the image of that dressed up lady who
was in stark contrast with the gentleman behind.
The woman was acted by a modal named Nini and
the gentleman holding a telescope was acted
by one of Renoirs brothers. The tone of the
box is warm, being composed of rosy, black,
white colors. The black stripes in the womans
clothes made her very eye-catching and the black
bars together with white color also made her look
glamorous. Renoir uses small strokes to reflect
black so as to produce a rich and deep level and
finally enhance aesthetics.
Portrait was quite flourishing for a long
time in the history of European painting,
and the impressionist portraits were
more vigorous. Renoirs portraits were highly
appreciated won scholars later. Renoir was famous
for painting nude female. He became
interested in the female body after
the Franco-Prussian War. During the war, he
joined the cavalry. Once the war was over, he
immediately dropped the carbine, went back
to Paris drawing his paintings again.
