La Grand Laveuse - Renoir

Next time you’re in downtown Fresno, take the short walk from Club One Casino to the Fulton Mall and check out the bronze sculpture, La Grand Laveuse (aka Washerwoman) circa 1917-18. It’s a classic piece directed by Pierre Auguste Renoir, one of the most famous artists in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and one of only six original castings worldwide. Other castings can be found in Fontvieille Park, Monaco, the Tate Collection, the Philadelphia Art Museum and Washington University in St. Louis. Renoir celebrated beauty and sensuality and the piece is a fine representation of his style. Come in to Club One for lunch and have one of our friendly hosts lead you to it!
