	Artist Profile - Pierre Bonnard, 19th-20th Century French Painter
		The painter Pierre Bonnard was born in France in 1867, and came of age when Impressionism was at the height of its formative influence on young painters.
		Bonnard also worked and re-worked his canvases, unlike many Impressionist paintings, which were done "on the spot." Like Impressionism, though, there was a lack of three-dimensional modeling and conventional perspective; the work was more atmospheric (spatially concerned - an "airiness") rather than volumetric (concerned with three dimensions and linear perspective).
		Bonnard felt that if he were to paint from life, he might get overwhelmed by the subject matter and paint a more naturalistic image; he wanted the paintings to be distilled by his memory.

	Pierre Bonnard Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		The French painter Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was one of the most original and consummate colorists of the first half of the 20th century and one of the few great painters of the period to remain unaffected by cubism.
		Pierre Bonnard was born at Fontenay-aux-Roses on Oct. 13, 1867.
		Although Bonnard accepted the basic notions of his friends relative to the flat surface, it was his visual humor, sly and gently mocking, as well as his irrepressible delight in worldly activities, which distinguished his work from theirs.

	Pierre Bonnard
		Bonnard's admiration of the Impressionists in general and of Renoir and Degas in particular, his earlier assimilation of the shape-conscious composition of Gauguin, Serusier and Denis, and his interchange of influences of color harmonies and dissonance's with the Fauves all conjoined to resolve in Bonnard a peculiarly enduring and beauty-conscious attitude.
		Bonnard's life was as serene and uneventful as those of Gauguin and Van Gogh were tempestuous; his exuberance was reserved for his art.
		This Bonnard is in a 32 1/2" x 26 5/8" ornate silver frame with a scoop, acanthus leaf pattern on the cove and an egg and dart pattern on the lip.

		Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was not a revolutionary artist but he synthesized several different styles to create works of striking painterliness and memorably glorious color.
		Bonnard is better known for his paintings of nude women reclining in their baths, several of which are included in the show.
		But Bonnard is very lush, reflecting his roots with the Nabis, a group of artists who called themselves the Hebrew word for "prophets" and followed the teachings of Gauguin to strip art to the essentials of color, surface and form, a movement in which decorative texture was as important as subject matter, indeed, more so.

		Bonnard often mixed it with a Venetian red which appears in the cover of the portfolio on the table.

		One essay discusses Bonnard's innovations, especially early on and especially his use of photography as a way to prepare for his paintings.

		Many of Bonnard's lithographs possess the specific quality of urban realism and personal empathy.
