He was among the movement's original members, exhibiting in the first Impressionist exhibition and several subsequent editions. Although he shared the style's interests in light, color, and modern society, Renoir's relationship to Impressionism was decidedly ambivalent. His passion for depicting the human form and reverence for the Old Masters both separated him from his Impressionist colleagues.
