Pierre Bonnard: Early and Late - Tapa blanda

This is a comprehensive presentation of the artist's symbolist phase and his later so-called Impressionist or Colourist period. By uniting representative works from all periods of Bonnard's life, the book charts the artist's singular pathway and illustrates his highly independent artistic vision. The 130 works illusrated, including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and sculpture, show that Bonnard continually experimented with alternative media and drew from a range of sources, both Eastern and Western. Above all, the book demonstrates Bonnard's overriding and lifelong interest in colour. The volume should be of use to all lovers of the work of Pierre Bonnard and students and connoisseurs of the history of European modernism.
