Upgrade your walls with la Charmille - Pierre Bonnard - Canvas Wall Art. Every fine art reproduction is painted entirely by hand, so the surface carries the depth and variation of an original oil painting rather than the flatness of a digital canvas print.
1901
Oil on panel
Private Collection, Switzerland.
From 1900, as Pierre Bonnard spent more time outside the city, the beauty of nature became the dominant focus of his work. This increasing engagement with the natural world was accompanied by a corresponding loosening of his ties with the Nabis circle and their search to free form and colour from their traditional descriptive functions in order to express emotions and spiritual truths. During this formative period Bonnard developed a luminous and subjective style that built on the Impressionists’ use of colour, whilst, retaining the original emphasis on the flat, decorative purpose of painting that was the legacy of his Nabis association.
La charmille is a wonderful early example of Bonnard’s engagement with the garden motif. The influence of the Nabis style is visible: In the present work Bonnard abandons perspective almost completely, emphasising the opulent surface texture through varied brushstrokes, whilst figures and background are seemingly merged into single plane. Bonnard’s attempt to capture nature’s rich and ever changing nuances through the use of a varied palette of rich greens, in combination with short brush strokes, is a testament to the influence of Impressionism. The theme of the garden itself is owed to this influence: Claude Monet found his garden to be an inexhaustible source of inspiration, and Bonnard and Monet maintained very close relations, living from 1912 in close proximity to Giverny and Vernonnet.
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.
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 hallway wall art that does not feel generic, a painted fine art canvas is hard to beat. It is a popular fine art oil painting pick for new homeowners and a durable alternative to seasonal poster art.
Order la Charmille as a hand painted oil painting on canvas and add lasting post-impressionist character to your hallway. Custom sizes, a digital proof before dispatch, and secure worldwide shipping are included.
