Item description from seller

2019 Tate Publishing large format paperback edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) 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, when colour became a dominant concern, until his death in 1947, this book presents a variety of colourful 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. Exploring his processes and sense of composition, his influences and inspirations, and his use of photography and diary notes, this new study reimagines Bonnard and relocates him 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 Although modest and withdrawn, he was a subtle witness to events - both in the wider world and his more intimate circle - that can be seen to define the ways in which he thought about and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. Celebrating Bonnard’s innovative command of colour, and channelling to the heart of his position as an artist who maintained continuities with the past while developing an individual expression of the world around him, 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.
