Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) - French painter of the 19th and 20th centuries, belonging to the Nabis school. He is a painter situated between Post-Impressionism and modern art. He also creates excellent prints and posters. Bonnard was strongly influenced by Japanese art among the painters of the school (Nabis school) and was called the "Japanese Nabis." Along with Édouard Vuillard, he is called an anti-mystic (chamber group) because he liked to paint familiar subjects, such as scenes in interiors. The unusually long screens seen in some works are believed to be influenced by Oriental hanging scrolls, while compositions in which the main motifs, such as people and tables, are cut off at the edges of the screens are not found in traditional Western art. be influenced by ukiyo-e woodcuts. From around 1900, Bonnard's paintings changed from sober, brown-based colors to warm, brilliant colors. Bonnard's magnificent color expression is unique to him, drawing a line between Impressionism and Japanese printmaking.
