In 1861, Auguste Renoir became friends with Monet and Bazille. He started as one of the Impressionists, a group that included Cezanne and Monet. They tried to paint the feeling a landscape gave them rather than the precise details of the scene itself. Renoir loved to paint real people. Like other Impressionists, he turned his back on the French art's traditional concerns for classical subjects. Instead, paintings such as Ball At The Moulin De La Galette and Luncheon Of The Boating Party showed the Parisian working classes out drinking and having fun.
