NATURE MORTE, TROIS GRAPPES DE RAISIN
1922
Oil on canvas
Private Collection, Paris.
With an exacting focus on this densely arranged bowl of fruit, Bonnard exemplifies the intimisme of his earlier Nabis pictures and the vibrant coloration that define his later years. Still-lifes occupied a large part of the artist's oeuvre over the course of his career, but as he developed his style, his approach to these compositions became more experimental. The present work is evidence of this approach, as he carefully renders the vibrant tablecloth so that the fabric is as dominant as any other feature in the composition.
In a recent exhibition catalogue on Bonnard's still-lifes, Dita Amory describes how Bonnard developed relationships with objects he painted, enabling him to reveal a particular beauty that might otherwise be overlooked: "In all his waking moments, Bonnard was searching for the shock of an image, for its potential to become a painting. In that sense he was not a voyeur but a silent witness, someone simultaneously inside and outside of any given moment. His discreet presence in the room where he worked gave him status equal to that of the objects he painted; he was one with the chair, the sugar bowl, the teapot, the saltcellar. In order to paint an object he needed to be familiar with it, to see it sympathetically, or as having its own personality. Once, when asked to consider some charming ensemble as a potential still life, he responded simply, 'I haven't lived with that long enough to paint it'" (Dita Amory, "The Presence of Objects: Still Life in Bonnard's Late Paintings," in Pierre Bonnard, The Late Still Lifes and Interiors (exhibition catalogue), The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2009, p. 26).
Our artists reproduce this still life composition in oil on canvas by hand, preserving the tonal range that makes still life oil painting so sought after for a gallery wall.
Oil on canvas remains the reference standard for post-impressionist reproductions. Our artists apply pigment by hand, blending the still life tones directly on the surface for depth that a printed still life oil painting simply cannot match.
post-impressionist canvas wall art is one of the easiest ways to warm a gallery wall. Pair this piece with natural linen, dark wood, or brushed brass, and let the hand painted surface do the rest.
