Armistice by Pierre Bonnard is one of those images that never dates. Our studio recreates it as a hand painted oil painting — textured, color-rich, and ready to hang as canvas wall art in a home office, study, or reception area.
1918
Oil on canvas
23 1/2 x 33 5/8 in.
Armistice was painted late in 1918, shortly after the treaty between the Allies and Germany was signed, bringing World War I to an end. Bonnard evokes the jubilant atmosphere through the striking composition and economical, yet vibrant palette. Placing himself anonymously amid the chaos of the crowd, the artist captures the transitory expressions, gestures and emotions which animate the figures.
Painted with characteristic verve, the present work demonstrates the immediacy of the artist's hand. The broad, dry brushstrokes create a sense of dynamism, whilst emphasising the flatness of the perspective and allowing the canvas support to permeate the patches of color. The use of bold, black pigment recalls the cloisonnism of early Gauguin and is a hallmark of Bonnard's Post-Impressionist technique.
Armistice is typical of paintings by the Nabis, the avant-garde group to which Bonnard was central; it exhibits the artist's synthesis of an observed reality with an expressive personal symbolism – such non-representational approaches to painting provided a vital source of inspiration for emergent artistic movements, particularly Expressionism and the move towards abstraction.
Every hand painted oil painting in this fine art series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
Oil on canvas remains the reference standard for post-impressionist reproductions. Our artists apply pigment by hand, blending the fine art tones directly on the surface for depth that a printed fine art oil painting simply cannot match.
post-impressionist canvas wall art is one of the easiest ways to warm a home office. Pair this piece with natural linen, dark wood, or brushed brass, and let the hand painted surface do the rest.
