Philippa Hughes brings us a dazzling world of color through the works of Pierre Bonnard. Take a tour of "Bonnard's Worlds" at the Phillips Collection.
French painter Pierre Bonnard transformed intimate domestic scenes, fleeting moments of everyday life, lush landscapes, and intricate still lifes into dynamic and emotional paintings. Bonnard's paintings captured the essence rather than the details of a scene, much like his fellow 19th-century impressionists, but he was also a fiercely independent painter, and he developed his own unique style, that would have paved the way for the modernist abstract painters who followed him.
"Bonnard's Worlds" is Washington's first major exhibition the artist's work in 20 years. Co-organized by The Phillips Collection and the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, the exhibit brings together 60 of Pierre Bonnard’s celebrated paintings , including several rarely seen by the public.
