For collectors searching landscape oil painting, Landscape (Paysage) is a dependable choice. Painted in layered oils on canvas after Pierre Bonnard, this post-impressionist work reads equally well as classic canvas wall art and as a thoughtful housewarming gift.
circa 1921
Oil on canvas
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 colour and bold contours. In his depictions of the French landscape, his use of technique was extraordinarily effective in conveying the variations of the terrain. In the present work, Paysage, dating from circa 1921, he uses interlacing patches of colour to form the dramatic clouds and lush flower fields in the distance.
The art critic Elie Faure captured the originality of Bonnard's landscapes perfectly when describing his style: 'Like the rarest artists, he gives the impression of having invented painting. This is not merely because everything in the world – everything, every day – is new for him and so he expresses it in a new way, but also because he stands at the dawn of a new intellectual order. He was the first to organise it, following a rhythm of which we had been aware before his arrival: the fine old harmonies that make us what we are' (quoted in Pierre Bonnard, Observing Nature, (exhibition catalogue), National Gallery of Australia, Canberra & Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane, 2003, p. 56).
As the artist himself proclaimed: 'Observe nature, and work on the canvas, indicating the colours: the climate of the work transcends all else' (quoted in ibid., p. 37).
'In art, it is only reactions that count. It's not a matter of painting life. It's a matter of giving life to painting.' Pierre Bonnard, 1946
The landscape subject is rebuilt stroke by stroke in oil, giving the finished canvas the depth expected of post-impressionist oil painting wall decor.
We use a 100% hand-painted process: stretched artist-grade canvas, layered oil pigment, and a final protective varnish. There are no inkjet prints or mechanical reproductions in this collection — just a painted landscape artwork made to order.
