Meanwhile, in the life of Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The whole lifeDecember 1873
Founding the society of the future Impressionists
Renoir and his friends created the Anonymous Cooperative Society of Artists, Painters, Sculptors and Engravers — the future Impressionist group.
15 April – 15 May 1874
First Impressionist exhibition
Renoir took an active part in organizing the exhibition and showed a pastel and six paintings, among them "The Dancer" and "La Loge" (The Theater Box). It was at his suggestion that the catalogue carried the title of Monet's painting "Impression, Sunrise," which gave rise to the word "Impressionists."
1876
Second Impressionist exhibition
Hoping to secure an income from portrait commissions, Renoir showed mainly portraits at the second Impressionist exhibition.
