    The Philadelphia Museum of Art presents an American Sign Language-interpreted tour of its latest exhibit.  Late Renoir follows the renowned painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir through the final—and most fertile and innovative—decades of his career. At the height of his creative powers and looking toward posterity, Renoir created art that was timeless, enticing, and worthy of comparison to the greatest of the old masters, such as Raphael, Titian, and Rubens. He devoted himself to joyful subjects—frolicking bathers, domestic idylls, the drama of classical mythology, and the brilliance of Mediterranean landscape and sea. His fluid brushstrokes and masterful use of color won the admiration of the emerging modernist avant-garde, who considered Renoir one of the greatest living artists. Approximately 80 paintings, drawings and sculptures by Renoir are being displayed alongside 20 works by younger artists—Aristide Maillol, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso among them—to illustrate, illumine and celebrate Renoir’s legacy.
