Yes, better Renoir than Marcel Duchamp’s toilet bowl as art or Rothko’s colorful bands.. Renoir rocks.
I’m not sure you understand Duchamp’s point. He was contemptuous of modern art and was making the point that gullible people would accept ANYTHING as art, if it was displayed in a gallery. He was right. He was also critical of the whole “artist as driven, with compulsive NEED to create art,” so he took two years and just played chess, without creating any new “pieces.” Duchamp is awesome. It’s not about the pieces he displayed, it’s about him criticizing the direction art was headed. He also took a poster of the Mona Lisa, drew a mustache and beard on her, and wrote “she has a nice a$$” on it, then hung it in a gallery. People spent forever trying to figure out what he “meant” by it. The irony is that almost a century later, galleries are still displaying his pieces, but didn’t get his point.
