Édouard Vuillard's Jardin de Paris, a series…
1894 CE
In these nine panels (1894; examples in the Cleveland Museum of Art; Musée National d'Art Moderne, Paris; Museum of Fine Arts of Houston, Texas; and Musée des Beaux-Arts, Brussels), Vuillard uses pale light and discreet areas of neutral colors as flat surface pattern to create a mood of restful calm.
In contrast to his earlier work, all modelling is avoided.
Instead, unaltered color fills the contours of the forms depicted, producing a two-dimensional, tapestry-like effect.
