Synopsis
The French artist Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was a successful painter, draughtsman, photographer, printmaker, illustrator and interior designer, and his works continue to surprise and overwhelm new generations of art lovers. Towards the end of his life, Bonnard told a young painter: 'Our God is light. A day will come when you will understand what that means.' A brilliant colourist, Bonnard made a life study of the effects of light on a surface. This catalogue of the National Gallery of Australia's major exhibition brings together more than 110 paintings, drawings, lithographs and photographs lent by leading art galleries and private collections worldwide. Its main focus is Bonnard's artistic career in the 20th century. The book follows the artist's stylistic and iconographic development step by step, giving a comprehensive view of Bonnard's career from his early Nabi interiors of 1890-1900 to his large decorations of 1905-1912 and his various nudes, portraits and landscapes of the 1920s and 1930s.
It finishes with a group of stunning paintings and works on paper - predominantly still lifes, sublime nudes, portraits and lyrical Mediterranean landscapes - created in the late 1930s or during the depressing period of World War II when Bonnard was working in complete isolation at his house in Le Cannet in southern France."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. The French artist Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was a successful painter, draughtsman, photographer, printmaker, illustrator, and interior designer and his works continue to surprise and overwhelm new generations of art lovers. This handsome catalogue brings together more than 110 paintings, drawings, lithographs, and photographs, concentrating on works from both public and private collections, and focusing on the evolution of Bonnard's artistic career in the twentieth century. It follows the artist's stylistic and iconographic development, giving a comprehensive view of Bonnard's career from his early Nabi works of 1890-1900 to his large decorations of 1905-1912 and his various nudes, portraits and landscapes of the 1920s and 1930s. The book closes with a group of stunning paintings and works on paper--predominantly still lifes, sublime nudes, portraits, and Mediterranean landscapes--created in the late 1930s through World War II. Pierre Bonnard offers new insights into one of the most complex yet highly consistent artists of the twentieth century whose work was and still is influential on modern painters. From a contemporary perspective, Bonnard appears to many as a profoundly radical artist whose works have an extraordinary power to fascinate and inspire the viewer. 184 pages.
