Have any of you seen Pierre Bonnard's works?
The recent art book from my library I finished was about Pierre Bonnard. It was a rather big one and so it took me a bit longer to finish than the others. He was born in 1867 and passed away in 1947, living to be 79. He was a founding member of the post impressionist group.
What I noticed and what the book talked about a good deal was his detailed backgrounds. With colors and textures they stood out in an unusual way. Pierre was inspired by Japanese art and having now seen some of his paintings in the similar style I feel it worked well for him. Some of his paintings felt pretty expressive with his somewhat flowing style of clothing, hairstyles, poses and facial expressions. Pierre seemed to have liked painting with his friends and family during dining or lounging or
I liked what the book shared with me but looking online at his other works has been a good experience as well.
