I have several copies of the attached lithographs from Renoir's
Trilogies a Danse.
Each image is a 24" x 351/4" 36-color, hand-pulled, limited-edition
lithograph created at La Maison Mourlot in Paris, France under the
guidance and direction of Paul Renoir, grandson and sole heir to the
artistic legacy of Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Produced on 250-gram, 100%
acid-free archival Fabriano paper, it has been personally inspected,
numbered, signed and given the cachet d'atelier Renoir by the heir. Each
edition is limited to 950 hand-pulled lithographs and 50 artist's
proofs. The plates from which they were created in October, 1993 have
been destroyed and no further editions will be produced.

The images are also viewable at www.mindspring.com/~aboyce/renoir.htm
and are
available for auction (starting bid $300) at:
www.uauction.com/cgi-win/showitem.exe/zkx944712

I also welcome any assistance in finding other places to sell these
pieces.
Thanks

About the Artist
RENOIR, Pierre Auguste (1841-1919)</CENTER>

French impressionist painter, noted for his radiant, intimate paintings, particularly of the female nude. Recognized by critics as
one of the greatest and most independent painters of his period, Renoir is noted for the harmony of his lines, the brilliance of his
color, and the intimate charm of his wide variety of subjects. Unlike other impressionists he was as much interested in painting
the single human figure or family group portraits as he was in landscapes; unlike them, too, he did not subordinate composition
and plasticity of form to attempts at rendering the effect of light. 
Renoir was born in Limoges on February 25, 1841. As a child he worked in a porcelain factory in Paris, painting designs on
china; at 17 he copied paintings on fans, lampshades, and blinds. He studied painting formally in 1862-63 at the academy of the
Swiss painter Charles Gabriel Gleyre in Paris. Renoir's early work was influenced by two French artists, Claude Monet in his
treatment of light and the romantic painter Eugène Delacroix in his treatment of color.

Renoir first exhibited his paintings in Paris in 1864, but he did not gain recognition until 1874, at the first exhibition of painters of
the new impressionist school (see Impressionism). One of the most famous of all impressionist works is Renoir's Le Bal au
Moulin de la Galette (1876, Louvre, Paris), an open-air scene of a café, in which his mastery in figure painting and in
representing light is evident. Outstanding examples of his talents as a portraitist are Madame Charpentier and Her Children
(1878, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City) and Jeanne Samary (1879, Louvre).

Renoir fully established his reputation with a solo exhibition held at the Durand-Ruel Gallery in Paris in 1883. In 1887 he
completed a series of studies of a group of nude female figures known as the Bathers (Philadelphia Museum of Art). These
reveal his extraordinary ability to depict the lustrous, pearly color and texture of skin and to impart lyrical feeling and plasticity
to a subject; they are unsurpassed in the history of modern painting in their representation of feminine grace. Many of his later
paintings also treat the same theme in an increasingly bold rhythmic style. During the last 20 years of his life Renoir was crippled
by arthritis; unable to move his hands freely, he continued to paint, however, by using a brush strapped to his arm. Renoir died
at Cagnes, a village in the south of France, on December 3, 1919.

Other notable paintings by Renoir include La Loge (1874, Courtauld Institute Galleries, London); Woman with Fan (1875)
and The Swing (1875), both in the Louvre, Paris; The Luncheon of the Boating Party (1881, Phillips Collection,
Washington, D.C.); and Vase of Chrysanthemums (1895, Musée de Beaux-Arts, Rouen)-one of the many still lifes of flowers
and fruit he painted throughout his life.
