Excellent biography and illustrations of this not awfully well-known french painter of the first half of the last century. His life had just enough of bathos, compulsions, tragedy (his paramour, Renee, killed herself after he decided he couldn't leave his wife, Marthe, for her) and talent to place him amongst the ranks of tragic artists. But then, all art is tragedy in the sense it tells us what we lack. If people had no lack of creativity, meaning and beauty in their lives, art museums worldwide would fail, falling like a row of dominoes; now, in our age, we are mere spectators, epigoni, if you like, who must line up at museums where the dried flowers of the meaning and beauty of our human tribe, expressed uniquely by Art, are sequestered.

Bonnard found early fame among the Nabis, the radical young disciples of Gauguin, and went on with Vuillard to create a new intimist art of psychologically charged interiors. But from 1900 he turned back toward Impressionism, and his art recreates moments of heightened subjectivity, color and space. This new account shows how these beautiful and lyrical pictures sometimes emerged from terrible circumstances; as Bonnard himself wrote shortly before his death in 1947, "one does not always sing out of happiness." Bonnard's reassessment over the past thirty years has centered on the extraordinary late pictures that were inspired by Mallarme and Symbolism, by Jarry and anarchism, and by the philosophy of Bergeson. These works are among some of the most enduring images of the twentieth century. 169 illus. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
