It’s nothing personal, says Ben Ewen-Campen, he just doesn’t think French impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir is much of a painter. Monday, the Harvard postdoc joined some like-minded aesthetes for a playful protest outside the Museum of Fine Arts. The rally, which mostly bewildered passersby, was organized by Max Geller, creator of the Instagram account Renoir Sucks at Painting, who wants the MFA to take its Renoirs off the walls and replace them with something better.

As a Renoir fan, I luved how he painted the female form, "I'll give you my Renoir when you pry it from my cold, dead hands".

The should hold other signs.
Like:
We have no jobs.
Six years at BU and can only flip a burger.
Our degrees are worthless.

Hate Renoir?
Why? Have something against Fat Chicks? Or him portraying them and feel guilty?

That “God Hates Renoir” sign makes me think they perhaps have a tie to the Westboro Baptist nut cases.

Well at least he wasn’t named after a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle like some of the others.

I agree with them. They need to give the Renoirs to me and free up that space for some art that wasn’t created by dead white guys.

You made me laugh. Just think, if it weren't for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, most kids today would have never heard of the names of Michelangelo, etc.

Did you notice the signs? Echoes of Westboro Baptist Church. Instead of “God hates fags”, a guy is holding a “God hates Renoir” sign. Both groups disgust me.
