Bal du moulin de la GaletteThis painting is doubtless Renoir's most important work of the mid 1870's. This painting was once shown at the Impressionist exhibition in 1877. The portrayal is a popular Parisian life, with its innovative style and imposing format, a sign of Renoir's artistic ambition, and the masterpieces of early Impressionism.Art is a great status symbol in modern society. Because of that, it can be quite intimidating to the casual viewer. Art can be a great source of pleasure in our lives as well, and even a passing acquaintance with art can enrich our understanding of the world around us.
