Aside from what we can extract from Pierre-Auguste Renoir's own works, this book and Vollard's short memoir are about the only organized contemporary works about Renoir as a man and a thinker. They are both myth. If you want to see just how far these hagiographies are intentionally distorted, compare Renoir's remarks on the Jews and antisemitism here with the full-length quotations and references in Phlip Nord's *Impressionists and Politics*.
