Composition & Subject

PORTRAIT DE JEUNE FILLE (VIVETTE TERRASSE)
circa 1916
Oil on canvas
Private Collection, Connecticut.

Bonnard's niece Vivette is the subject of this serene portrait from 1916. The artist spent several weeks each spring in the company of his sister Andrée, her husband the composer Claude Terrasse, and their children. Vivette was the youngest member of the family, and she featured in many photographs that Bonnard took of the family in the early 1900s. At the time of this composition, Vivette was now a young woman, and her likeness to Bonnard's companion Marthe is apparent. As a child, Vivette appears as one of the youngsters in the foreground of La Famille au jardin (Grand-Lemps), circa 1901 (fig. 1). In that large composition Claude Terrasse sits cross-legged at left seemingly presiding over the domestic bliss around him replete with numerous children, pets and visitors. By 1916, Vivette becomes the subject of this more intimate portrait, evidencing the artist's continued close relationship with his niece.

Every hand painted oil painting in this figurative series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
