Judgment of Paris, a swirling study in the pinks, reds, yellows of Paris (in a nightcap) and three rotund nudes, was painted in 1908 when Renoir was already an old man, deeply absorbed in the technique of broken color painting and already wracked with arthritis. The Durand-Ruel pictures were for the most part in Renoir's early manner. Outstanding were a luscious Bather and a self-portrait of the old gentleman in a white duck...
...painter's painter, passionately interested in the technique of his craft, with a lusty sensuousness that has caused Collector Barnes to compare him, at great length, to Rubens, Titian, and the 16th Century Venetians.

Not having geometrical screen patterns, these two films are susceptible to small inequalities of color distribution which may show up when a cinema projection is sufficiently magnified. Not only does Dufaycolor not suffer...
