Gift her an art-inspired floral scarf. This picturesque scene comes from Pierre Bonnard's (French, 1867-1947) Garden (ca. 1935), a lush oil painting in The Met collection. The landscape depicted is possibly a corner of the artist's beloved garden at Le Cannet on the French Riviera. Click

Garden in the Shade created circa 1901 is currently in a private collection. Bonnard preferred to work from memory using drawings as a reference and his paintings are often characterized by a dreamlike quality. He was best known for his intimate domestic scenes. Bonnard has since been recognized for his unique use of color and high complex imagery. Frame. Description Studio Black Wood Frame. Color: Purple.

Among those painters who incontestably left their mark on twentieth-century art, Bonnard rises to the top again and again. Museums, scholars and viewers regularly return to his oeuvre for reinterpretation, passionate and contradictory, of what it means to be Modern. In having followed a very personal calling--literally and figuratively interior, particularly compared to the work of friends like Matisse--Bonnard created work as innovative as any of his contemporaries. His recurring themes--the nude (both classical and erotic), the landscape, domestic life, and the self-portrait--evolve with him from the nineteenth century to the twentieth, from Paris to the south of France, alive with constant reinvention. Although for Bonnard the subject was always important, his work navigates a sophisticated dialectic between the givens of perception and memory, between the image before our eyes and all that it suggests. This substantial reference includes work from the Hermitage and the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris, which sponsored its publication. Contributors include Yve-Alain Bois, Sarah Whitfield, and Georges Roque. Photographs from Dina Verny and Henri Cartier-Bresson among others document the era and Bonnardís models as he saw them.

Published to accompany a major retrospective exhibition and based on fresh research, a survey of the work of the late nineteenth/early twentieth-century Post-Impressionist painter, Pierre Bonnard, includes and discusses 237 reproductions, 112 in full color.

Published to coincide with an exhibition of Pierre Bonnard's work at the Tate Gallery in London (12th February - 17th May 1998) and the Museum of Modern Art, New York (24th June - 29th September 1998), this is a concise illustrated survey of Bonnard's use of colour and light. It reviews his life and work, and sets out to show, through an analysis of key works, how his technique and working methods developed over 50 years. During his long career, Bonnard's subject matter remained focused on his wife, his homes and his self-portraits, but his approach to these subjects changed radically. At first he worked chiefly in tone, but gradually colour enriched his work, and finally light suffused it. The author argues that Bonnard was not a sentimental survivor of Impressionism, as he was often labelled, but a highly demanding formal artist who transformed light into an emotional atmosphere enveloping the surface within which objects exist.

Bonnard found early fame among the Nabis, the radical young disciples of Gauguin, and went on with Vuillard to create a new intimist art of psychologically charged interiors. But from 1900 he turned back toward Impressionism, and his art recreates moments of heightened subjectivity, color and space. This new account shows how these beautiful and lyrical pictures sometimes emerged from terrible circumstances; as Bonnard himself wrote shortly before his death in 1947, "one does not always sing out of happiness." Bonnard's reassessment over the past thirty years has centered on the extraordinary late pictures that were inspired by Mallarme and Symbolism, by Jarry and anarchism, and by the philosophy of Bergeson. These works are among some of the most enduring images of the twentieth century. 169 illus., 50 in color.

Gathers all of the French painter's posters, lithographs, and book illustrations and provides commentary on Bonnard's style and technique

With a text by the artist's grandnephew, Bonnard brings a special intimacy to the exuberant, beautiful domestic interiors, pastoral landscapes, still lifes, and portraits of the French artist Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947), whose vibrant, colorful palette drew streams of art lovers to a recent retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. 173 illustrations, 112 in full color

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) is acknowledged as one of the great masters of twentieth-century painting. Best-known as a painter of intimate, domestic interiors, he was also a highly accomplished draughtsman and graphic artist who produced a wealth of drawings and lithographs. In fact Bonnard began his career as a graphic artist, producing posters and illustrations for such magazines as La Revue Blanche. Associated with Maurice Denis, Edouard Vuillard and other members of the Nabis group from 1890, his early work is characterized by a tendency towards broad, flat colour and asymmetrical composition derived from Gauguin and from Japanese prints. From 1900 his palette became richer and his subject-matter settled into a range of obsessive themes - principally landscapes, nudes and interiors - in which he explored ever more complex formal problems and developed an unparalleled mastery of colour and light. His mature work achieves a level of dazzling intensity which has ensured his enduring reputation as one of the twentieth century's great colourists. In this important reassessment of Bonnard's life and work, Nicholas Watkins argues that Bonnard was not a sentimental survivor of impressionism as some have claimed, but a highly demanding and innovative artist responding to new formal challenges. Paintings, graphic work and sketches are comprehensively reproduced and examined in depth, providing a definitive study of this highly influential but frequently misunderstood artist.
