  • Landscape (Paysage) - Pierre Bonnard was a French painter who helped provide a bridge between impressionism and the abstraction explored by post-impressionists. He is known for the bold colors in his work and a fondness for painting elements of everyday life, member of the group of artists called the Nabis and afterward a leader of the Intimists; he is generally regarded as one of the greatest colourists of modern art.

    Oil on canvas

    Through his involvement with the Nabis at the beginning of the century, Bonnard had grown accustomed to using decorative stylistic elements in his paintings, such as flattened patches of colour and bold contours. In his depictions of the French landscape, his use of technique was extraordinarily effective in conveying the variations of the terrain. In the present work, Paysage, dating from circa 1921, he uses interlacing patches of colour to form the dramatic clouds and lush flower fields in the distance.

    The art critic Elie Faure captured the originality of Bonnard's landscapes perfectly when describing his style: 'Like the rarest artists, he gives the impression of having invented painting. This is not merely because everything in the world – everything, every day – is new for him and so he expresses it in a new way, but also because he stands at the dawn of a new intellectual order. He was the first to organise it, following a rhythm of which we had been aware before his arrival: the fine old harmonies that make us what we are' (quoted in Pierre Bonnard, Observing Nature, (exhibition catalogue), National Gallery of Australia, Canberra & Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane, 2003, p. 56).

    As the artist himself proclaimed: 'Observe nature, and work on the canvas, indicating the colours: the climate of the work transcends all else' (quoted in ibid., p. 37).

    'In art, it is only reactions that count. It's not a matter of painting life. It's a matter of giving life to painting.' Pierre Bonnard, 1946

Pierre BonnardPierre Bonnard was a French Post-Impressionist painter remembered for his ability to convey dazzling light with juxtapositions of vibrant color. “What I am after is the first impression—I want to show all one sees on first entering the room—what my eye takes in at first glance,” he said of his work. Born on October 3, 1867 in Fontenay-aux-Roses, France, Bonnard studied law at the Sorbonne, graduating in 1888. During this time, he was also enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts but left to attend the Académie Julian in 1889. At this more open-minded painting academy, Bonnard met Maurice Denis, Paul Sérusier, and Édouard Vuillard, among others. Together with these artists he helped from a group known as the Nabis, who were influenced by Japanese prints and the use of flat areas of color. Early on in his career, Bonnard was better known for his prints and posters than for his paintings. Moving to the South of France in 1910, over the following decades, Bonnard receded from the forefront of the art world, mainly producing tapestry-like paintings of his wife Marthe in their home. Late works of Bonnard, such as The Terrace at Vernonnet (1939), more closely resembled a continuation of Impressionism than other avant-garde styles of the era. Because of this, at the time of his death on January 23, 1947 in Le Cannet, France, the artist’s work had been largely discounted as regressive. Today, his works are held in the collections of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, and the Tate Gallery in London, among others.
