Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was one of a generation of artists that
helped transform painting during the first half of the twentieth
century. As a painter, he preferred to work from memory -
imaginatively capturing the spirit of a moment and expressing it
through his unique handling of colour and unconventional choice of
composition. Focusing on Bonnard's work from 1912-47, this book
presents a variety of landscapes and intimate domestic scenes which
capture the passage of time. These works are the artist's memories
creatively reconstructed to convey a sense of sensuality or
melancholy. As well as looking at his processes, his reliance on
photography and his ability to work on different subjects
side-by-side, this book relocates Bonnard in the turbulent history
of his times. Although modest and withdrawn, he was a subtle
witness to events - both in the wider world and his more intimate
circle - that can be seen to define the ways in which he thought
about and made his very personal art. Channelling to the heart of
Bonnard's position as an artist who maintained continuities with
the past while developing an individual expression of his
engagement with the world, this sumptuously illustrated book
reveals Bonnard's transition from great colourist to Modernist
master, and emphasises his place within the story of
twentieth-century art.
