One Fine Show: ‘Bonnard’s Worlds’ at the Phillips Collection
Bonnard is the bridge between the blurry masters of Impressionism and the Modernist details of Henri Matisse.
Pierre Bonnard
Pierre Bonnard was a French painter and printmaker, associated with the Post-Impressionist movement. Born in 1867, Bonnard's work is characterized by his vibrant use of color, intimate domestic scenes, and his ability to capture the fleeting moments of everyday life. He was a member of the Nabis group and often depicted scenes from his personal surroundings, particularly his home and garden. Bonnard's art evolved over the years, displaying a mastery of light, composition, and color. His legacy as a skilled colorist and his contributions to the development of modern art continue to influence and inspire artists today.
