Pierre Bonnard

grapes

He painted from memory aided by annotated sketches.

Unusual compositions and arbitrary colours.

Objects are often hidden in pattern.

He pinned canvas to the wall and worked on

more than one painting at a time.

Often the edges of the image contain the most detail,

and the centre of the composition is empty space.

Purple and Yellow

Dark Purple and yellow complementary.

Dynamic shapes contrasted to closed shapes.

The insects in the paintings symbolise the ephemeral nature of worldly beauty.
