circa 1945
Oil on canvas
24 5/8 x 26 3/4 in.
Bonnard's luxuriant still lifes, created in his home overlooking the Mediterranean, capture all of the light, color and splendor of the south of France. The present composition, which is believed to be one of the artist's last great paintings, depicts a bouquet of mimosas, picked from the artist's garden. Painted around 1945, the composition here is daringly abstract and calls to mind the canvases of the Abstract Expressionists, whose color-field paintings would make their debut in the United States a decade later. Similar to the transcendental oil compositions of Mark Rothko (fig. 1), Bonnard's canvas is saturated with color, the individual elements and tones blending into a harmonious and unified vision.
In the recent exhibition catalogue of Bonnard's still lifes, Dita Amory has written the following on this picture: "If the light in Bonnard's late paintings often seems to transform color, and what color describes, into brilliant tapestries of mottled hues, this painting of a vase of mimosas, one of the artist's last still lifes, is an epiphany of light's full potential. The warm yellows and burning orange brushstrokes build a surface that pulsates with energy. The flowers of the mimosa tree in Bonnard's garden at Le Bosquet often found their way into the late interiors" (Dita Amory, Pierre Bonnard, The Late Still Lifes and Interiors, op cit., p. 150).
Collectors often choose this still life image when searching for still life oil painting that feels substantial rather than decorative or disposable.
Trained artists work in stages — underpainting, mid-tones, highlights, and detail — using traditional oils on canvas. Because nothing is printed, every hand painted oil painting has its own subtle texture and depth.
For office wall decor that does not feel generic, a painted still life canvas is hard to beat. It is a popular still life oil painting pick for new homeowners and a durable alternative to seasonal poster art.
In short: Bouquet de Mimosas - Pierre Bonnard - Oil Painting combines a post-impressionist composition, a 100% hand painted oil painting process, and the flexibility of made-to-order canvas sizes — a dependable choice for still life oil painting and office wall decor.
