PASSIONATE ABOUT LIFE
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007August Renoir, the French impressionist painter, suffered from rheumatism late in life. His affliction was so intense that he painted while sitting in a chair and being moved about as he directed.
Holding a brush was extremely painful. Yet he continued to paint, and despite the crippling illness, created several masterpieces. To watch Renoir struggle was painful itself. One day a friend asked him,” why do you torture yourself? You have already produced scores of wonderful paintings. “Renoir looked at one of his canvasses and replied, “the pain passes but the beauty remains.”
