I miei genitori erano sempre dietro a

naturalmente non mi importava un fico di

codardi che spiavano da dietro le

tendine.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir | The Umbrellas, 1881-1886

Renoir's 'Umbrellas' shows a bustling Paris street in the rain. The composition of the painting does not focus on the centre of the picture which is a tangle of hands. It even cuts of figures at either edge like a photographic snapshot. This kind of unconventional arrangement was something that several of the Impressionists, including Renoir and Degas, enjoyed experimenting with.
