Nothing softens a home office like a painted surface. Marine by Pierre Bonnard arrives as a hand painted oil painting on canvas, offering the fine art detail, soft gradients, and tactile finish that fine art oil painting shoppers look for.
1901
Oil on panel
Marine is a vivid example of Bonnard's unique ability to weave a varied range of elements in his paintings into a congruous and concordant whole. The artist here combines the elements of an active seascape with the bustling activity on shore. Throughout his life, Bonnard took great pleasure in the ocean, both as a subject for his art and a place for leisure activities with friends.
Resonant in the current work is the pertinent influence that Japanese culture and art had upon the artist during this period. By this point in his artistic career, Bonnard was often referred to as le Nabi Japonard. His fascination with the art of the east was in part stimulated by an exhibition of Japanese art held at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1890. Upon viewing this exhibition, Bonnard was intrigued by the fundamental simplicity of Japanese woodblock prints and bold use of color in large, unmodulated patches. By the time he painted the present work, the artist had developed a mature and singular style influenced strongly by those elements that had intrigued him at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts exhibition and informed by the strong influence that Gauguin had over the Nabi. As Sarah Whitfield writes, Bonnard "makes us aware that the principal subject for the painter must be the surface which, as he says, 'has its colour, its laws over and above those of objects" (Sarah Whitfield and John Elderfield, Bonnard (exhibition catalogue), London, Tate Gallery, 1998. p. 15).
Collectors often choose this fine art image when searching for fine art oil painting that feels substantial rather than decorative or disposable.
Each canvas is painted entirely by hand with professional oil paints on artist-grade cotton canvas. No printing, giclée, or digital imaging is used at any stage, so the surface keeps the slight relief and color variation of real brushwork.
This fine art oil painting wall decor is equally at home in a residence, a boutique hotel, or a professional office. Its post-impressionist character makes it a safe, distinctive gift for anyone furnishing a home office.
Order Marine as a hand painted oil painting on canvas and add lasting post-impressionist character to your home office. Custom sizes, a digital proof before dispatch, and secure worldwide shipping are included.
