Oil on canvas
Private Collection, Paris.
During the first decade of the twentieth century Bonnard painted a number of 'Parisian landscapes' which capture with vital energy and experience of the modern metropolis. The Place and Boulevard Clichy, with its bustling market and diverse clientele, afforded Bonnard a great variety of dynamic scenes and it is for this reason that the location appears several times in his paintings of this period. In the present example, Bonnard is the archetypal flaneur; placing himself amid the crowd, he observes the movements of his anonymous companions.
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 colour. Bonnard delights in recording the play of light across the many figures. The use of bold, black pigment recalls the cloisonnism of early Gauguin and is a hallmark of Bonnard's Post-Impressionist technique.
Boulevard de Clichy is typical of paintings by Les 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.
As entryway wall decor, the piece pairs naturally with other post-impressionist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
From primer to varnish, the work is done manually on artist-grade canvas. The absence of digital printing is deliberate: it keeps the cityscape brushwork visible and gives the post-impressionist oil painting wall decor a museum-like finish.
As entryway wall decor, this canvas brings color and texture without visual noise. It scales well from a small study to a large entryway feature wall, and it is a reliable choice when shopping for cityscape oil painting as a gift.
Whether the search term is cityscape oil painting, entryway wall decor, or post-impressionist oil painting wall decor, this hand painted canvas delivers the same thing: a real painted surface, made to your chosen dimensions.
