Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1991. Cloth, 403 pages, illustrations; 24 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Spine slightly rolled at the crown. First printing. Dust jacket with a creased back flap. "Jean Renoir: A Life in Pictures is the first biography of this master of modern cinema--the director of Grand Illusion, Rules of the Game, The River, and other classics. Celia Bertin tells Renoir's story from his magical childhood to his first success in films, from his encounter with European fascism to his final years as the beloved 'Frenchman from Beverly Hills.' With the help of Renoir's family, Bertin interviewed everyone who knew the director in Paris, Provence, Bourgogne, and Los Angeles. Using first-hand accounts along with previously unpublished materials, she places this colorful, charming, and brilliant figure in the context of his time, his culture, and the history of cinema. Awarded the prize Therouanne by the Academie francaise in 1986, this acclaimed biography is now available in English. 'The spectacle of real life,' Renoir wrote, 'is a thousand times richer than the most beguiling inventions of our imagination.' And his own life makes the point. He lived a privileged childhood in the luminous world of his father, the famous Impressionist painter Auguste Renoir. As a horseman and aircraft pilot in World War I, he was badly wounded at the age of twenty. After the war and his father's death, he seemed destined for a life of sportscars and glamourous women--he first took up filmmaking to glorify his beautiful young wife. But soon movies became his passion and his work grew astoundingly original. He opposed the rise of fascism in Europe, yet was approached by Mussolini to direct Tosca. In 1940, Renoir moved to America--where he became the mentor to a younger generation of cineastes. He died in Beverly Hills in 1979. / Celia Bertin, novelist and historian, is the author of many books, including Marie Bonaparte: A Life, which is available in English. She is chevalier de la L?gion d'Honneur and chevalier des Arts et Lettres." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo.
