Édouard Vuillard, who turns thirty in 1898,…
1898 CE
As early as 1892, his production of small paintings of daily home life, such as Woman Sweeping (c. 1892; Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.), have led him to be called an Intimist.
The term Intimism is best characterized by André Gide's description of Vuillard's four-panel Figures and Interiors (1896; Petit Palais, Paris) as art "speaking in a low tone, suitable to confidences."
