Private Collection, United States.
By the time he painted Paysage du Cannet, Bonnard was widely celebrated among the avant-garde, and his paintings were sought after by prominent collectors in America and Europe. In 1926, he bought the Villa du Bosquet above Le Cannet, where he remained for the rest of his life. Bonnard's new estate commanded a magnificent view over the bay of Cannes and the mountains of the Esterel. The lush surroundings and the dazzling light that reflected off the water inspired some of Bonnard's most monumental landscapes, including Paysage du Cannet. This large-scale composition depicts the grounds of the villa as seen from a higher point of elevation.
The landscapes that Bonnard painted in the late 1920s, including the present work and another composition of a similar view, marked a turning point in the artist's style. As Nicholas Watkins explains, "Bonnard's art was always very much based on reality, but a distinction can be made between his northern and southern landscapes: whereas in the former he was more concerned with capturing the transient effects of weather, in the latter the permanence of atmosphere drew him into an alternative Mediterranean vision of a classical Golden Age. Cézanne and Renoir, rather than Monet, became his mentors in the south. The greens of his first terrace decoration at Vernonnet gave way to the pervasive golden light of his two main southern decorations of the 1920s, La Palme, 1926 and Paysage du Cannet, 1928" (N. Watkins, op. cit., p. 156).
Through his involvement with the Nabis at the beginning of the century, Bonnard had grown accustomed to using decorative stylistic elements in his paintings, such as flattened patches of color and bold contours. In his depictions of the southern French landscape, his use of this technique was extraordinarily effective in conveying the variations in the terrain. Watkins writes, "Bonnard was struck by the architectural nature of the vegetation in the south, suggesting a way of dealing with the view from Le Cannet in both paintings and drawings through poetic correspondences across the landscape.... Bonnard's solution to the problem of reconciling depth with the decorative assertion of the surface in the painting was to treat the landscape as a kind of tapestry into which the view was woven" (ibid., p. 156).
Every hand painted oil painting in this landscape series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
Materials matter for post-impressionist wall decor. That is why this piece is built on artist-grade canvas with lightfast oil colors, applied by hand rather than output from a printer, and sealed for long-term display.
Style it over a fireplace, behind a reading chair, or along a staircase. Wherever it goes, this post-impressionist oil painting wall decor adds the layered color that only a hand painted canvas provides.
