Vue panoramique (Dauphine) depicts the environs of Bonnard's family's estate Le Grand-Lemps which was situated near the C?te Saint-André in the province of Dauphine. Renowned for its spectacular light, the region had been a favorite spot for artists throughout the nineteenth century including Claude Monet's teacher Johan Barthold Jongkind. Bonnard's desire to express the emotions that the landscape aroused in him resulted in a bold break from the lessons he had received during his own formal training at the Academie Julian. Freed from any concern he may have had for topographical accuracy, Bonnard shifts his focus here to concentrate on rhythm, volume and color, arranging the planes of the landscape, the houses and trees almost at will.
Japanese art continued to have a profound effect on Bonnard's work and it is evident in the freedom of handling in Vue panoramique (Dauphine). As Antoine Terrasse writes, "[Bonnard admired] the Japanese artist's right to dispense with nature imitation and to rearrange the data of reality, the images his eye has registered, in a new manner determined by his inner vision" (Antoine Terrasse, Bonnard, Geneva, n.d., p. 23). Bonnard sought to adapt these principals to his own landscape painting and the result, as seen in the present painting, was a highly individual style. According to John Rewald, "No other painter of his generation was to endow his technique with so much sensual delight, so much feeling for the undefinable texture of paint, so much vibration" (John Rewald, Bonnard (exhibition catalogue), Acquavella Galleries, New York, 1965, n.p.).
The fine art subject is rebuilt stroke by stroke in oil, giving the finished canvas the depth expected of post-impressionist oil painting wall decor.
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.
