However by the mid-1880s, he had broken with the movement & applied a more disciplined, formal technique/approach to his portraits & figure paintings, particularly of women.

In 1863 Γ‰douard Manet took a much bolder step: his painting Le DΓ©jeuner sur l’herbe (1863; Luncheon on the Grass) provoked quite a scandal because its subject and technique.

Manet’s daring made him quite the hero, in the eyes of the young artists, and came to become the leader of a new movement.

Renoir and his companions stubbornly strove to produce light-suffused paintings from which black was excluded from their palettes.

Impressionism was naturally considered quite radical and frequently disparaged as it did not embrace the realism dictated by traditional aesthetic formulas.

Because of the then radical style of Impressionism the paintings were outright rejected by the juries of the Salon and difficult to sell.

Renoir, because of his fascination with the human figure, was distinctive among the others, who were more interested in landscape.

Renoir was fortunate to have a champion in publisher Georges Charpentier, who introduced him to a more comfortable clientele,

Mr. Kushner’s plans in the Balkans appear to have come about in part through relationships built while Mr. Trump was in office. Mr. Kushner, who was a senior White House official, said he had been working on the deals with dirty trickster and Trump sycophant Richard Grenell.
These first two projects both involve land now controlled by the governments of Albania and Serbia, meaning a deal would have to be finalized with these foreign governments.
