Pierre Bonnard
French, 1867–1947

A founding member of the avant-garde Post-Impressionist group Les Nabis, Pierre Bonnard helped bridge Impressionist styles with expressive, modernist modes of painting. His brushy canvases feature bold color palettes and take inspiration from the colorful, emotive compositions of Paul Gauguin and the woodcut prints of Hokusai and other Japanese artists. Bonnard rendered intimate urban and domestic scenes, focusing more on the hues and material qualities of his paint than on the particularities of his subject matter. With an eye for design, the artist filled his scenes with lush, decorative elements. Bonnard has been the subject of exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, Tate Modern, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among others. His work belongs in museum collections worldwide and has sold for more than $10 million on the secondary market.
