PECHES DANS UNE ASSIETTE
circa 1941
Oil on canvas
Painted circa 1941, Pêches dans une assiette is a vibrant still-life of fruit representing a colourful celebration of nature. The flattened pictorial surface and the tilted perspective infuse this typically intimiste scene with a modernist spirit strongly reminiscent of Matisse’s painting (fig. 1). Set slightly off centre, the marvellously rich arrangement of peaches on a patterned plate dominates the composition, set on a bright orange table that stretches beyond the borders of the canvas. This abandonment of the traditional approach to depth and perspective, coupled with the remarkably vibrant palette, makes this a truly modern composition.
Throughout his career, Bonnard was always enthralled by light and colour, and this fascination received a fresh impetus during the artist’s stay on the C?te d’Azur. As James Elliott observed: ‘Bonnard was essentially a colorist. He devoted his main creative energies to wedding his sensations of color from nature to those from paint itself – sensations which he said thrilled and even bewildered him. Perceiving color with a highly developed sensitivity, he discovered new and unfamiliar effects from which he selected carefully, yet broadly and audaciously. […] Whether in narrow range or multitudinous variety, the colors move across the surface of his paintings in constantly shifting interplay, lending an extraordinary fascination to common subjects. Familiar sights – the pervading greenness of a landscape, the intensification of color in objects on a lightly overcast day – are given vivid life’ (J. Elliott, in Bonnard and His Environment (exhibition catalogue), The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1964, p. 25).
As living room wall decor, the piece pairs naturally with other post-impressionist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
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 living room.
