Composition Study Artist Renoir

There is a strong sense of movement and energy in this Renoir painting. The strong and sharp contrasting   (light and black) colors and larger figures sitting at the table on the lower right-hand corner, move these people towards the front, while the gradually blurred people in decreasing size create a wonderful perception of space and movement, as the street continues off the upper left-hand corner. This painting commands all five techniques: Overlap, Size variation, Definition location and Color!
