Pierre Bonnard: The Late Still Lifes and Interiors

Description

Pierre Bonnard (French, 1867–1947) is known for his use of vibrant colors and light, and painting sunlit interiors and using his everyday surroundings as inspiration. In particular, his late paintings are thought to be among his finest achievements. In Pierre Bonnard: The Late Still Lifes and Interiors, Dita Amory details the interior and related still life paintings from the last decades of Bonnard’s career. Bonnard’s reflective approach of making pencil sketches in small diaries then relying on his memory to complete the painting created an element of mystery in his imagery. His use of shape against shape, of light against dark, showcases his eye for texture and spatial lighting. This book highlights Bonnard’s remarkable contribution to French art in the early twentieth century.
