Intriguing moments in fantastic colors: An artistic allusion by Pierre Bonnard - Video

Pierre Bonnard was a French painter, illustrator, talented engraver, and master of genre paintings. He painted still lifes, landscapes, animals, urban scenes, portraits and intimate domestic scenes in which the background, colors and style of painting usually prevailed over the subject. Pierre Bonnard remained in the history of painting the greatest colorist of the twentieth century and one of the key figures of the Post-Impressionist era. As a young man, he led the Nabi group of artists.
Pierre Bonnard was born October 3, 1867 in the suburbs of Fontenay-aux-Roses, Paris, in an intelligent family. Mother - Elizabeth Merzdorf was from a noble family, and father - Eugene Bonnard, held a high post in the military ministry of France. Also Pierre had an older brother Charles and a younger sister Andre.
Since childhood, Pierre showed a talent for drawing, ancient languages, literature, as well as caricatures. He often drew in the gardens of his parents' country house in Le Grand Lemps, near La Côte Saint-André in the Dauphiné. But the young man's father dreamed that his son would follow in his footsteps, so Pierre entered the Sorbonne University at the Faculty of Law. Simultaneously with his studies at the Faculty of Law Bonnard attended art classes at the Paris Julian Academy, studying art. At the Academy, he met his future friends and fellow artists Paul Seruzier, Maurice Denis, Gabriel Ibels and Paul Ranson. After graduating from law school, to please his father, he obtained his law license in 1887 and began practicing as a lawyer in 1888. In 1888, the gifted young man was admitted to the School of Fine Arts, where he became acquainted with the works of Degas (Edgar Degas), Cézanne (Paul Cézanne), Gauguin (Paul Gauguin). Under the influence of the work of Paul Gauguin, young artists tried to find their own Art Nouveau style. In this case, he was close to symbolism, which was distinguished by the decorative form of painting and the primacy of the color spot. There, at the School of Fine Arts, he met Ker-Xavier Roussellem and Jean-Edouard Vuillard with whom he became friends for the rest of his life.
