Pierre Bonnard

Pierre Bonnard (October 3, 1867 – January 23, 1947) is a French painter, illustrator, and printmaker, known especially for the stylized decorative qualities of his paintings and his bold use of color.

He is a founding member of the Post-Impressionist group of avant-garde painters Les Nabis, and his early work is strongly influenced by the work of Paul Gauguin, and the prints of Hokusai and other Japanese artists.

He is a leading figure in the transition from impressionism to modernism.

He paints landscapes, urban scenes, portraits and intimate domestic scenes, where the backgrounds, colors and painting style usually take precedence over the subject.
