Bonnard's painting of this voluptuous blond model dates from around 1931, when the artist was living at Le Bosquet, the home he shared with his wife Marthe. Although Marthe was the subject of several depictions of nudes that he did during this period, the present work is one of his rare portrayals of a fair-haired model, rumored to be one of his mistresses. According to the catalogue raisonné, the present work is closely related to no. 1482, which appears to depict the same model.
Bonnard's subjects were always inspired by his immediate surroundings whether he was painting the countryside of the Seine valley, the landscape of the Midi, his own dining room, or the modest interiors of small holiday retreats. Indeed, bathers and nudes were among the most important images in Bonnard's visual vocabulary and personal iconography. Even though we recognize the nudes in his paintings as people deeply involved in his life, whether his life-long companion Marthe, a mistress, or a model, many have been influenced by Bonnard's admiration for classical Greek sculpture. Conscious though he was of the classical ideal, Bonnard was not striving for the perfection of symmetry by balance and compensation, but he makes sure that while the figure contains within itself "the rhythms of movement", it "always comes to rest at its true centre" (Kenneth Clark, The Nude, London, 1985, p. 33).
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.
Expect subtle, hand-made variation rather than factory uniformity. Each fine art canvas is painted with oils, allowed to cure properly, and inspected before it is approved for shipment.
Wondering where fine art oil painting looks best? Try a hallway mantel, a dining room sideboard, or a hallway gallery wall. The fine art subject reads clearly from a distance and rewards close viewing up near.
In short: Naked Blonde Sitting - Pierre Bonnard - Hallway Wall Art 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 fine art oil painting and hallway wall art.
