From the first sketch to the final varnish, Peaches on a Plate on a Chair is made by hand. Based on Pierre Bonnard's original. This post-impressionist oil painting wall decor is crafted on artist-grade canvas for anyone who wants fine art oil painting with the character of an original.
circa 1935
Oil on canvas
Private Collection, United States.
Peches dans une assiette sur une chaise demonstrates Bonnard's talent for reconfiguring the natural world at its finest. The flattened pictorial surface of the wicker chair and the tilted perspective infuse this typically intimiste scene with a modernist spirit strongly reminiscent of Matisse’s painting. Set slightly above-center, the abundant offering of peaches in a shallow bowl dominates the composition. Bonnard's defiance of the traditional approach to depth and perspective set his compositions apart from those of his contemporaries and have since established him as a leader in this genre during the first half of the 20th century.
Bonnard was enthralled by light and color, 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 entryway wall decor, the piece pairs naturally with other post-impressionist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
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 an entryway 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.
