Upgrade your walls with The Pink Sofa - Pierre Bonnard - Oil Painting Wall Decor. Every fine art reproduction is painted entirely by hand, so the surface carries the depth and variation of an original oil painting rather than the flatness of a digital canvas print.
LE CANAPé ROSE
1910
Oil on canvas
Throughout his career, Bonnard would return to the theme of nude women at their toilette, emerging from the bath or at intimate moments of rest, as in the present work. The nudes in many of these paintings were usually inspired by people close to him, but for the most part the model was the artist's longtime companion, Marthe. Often pictured from a distance and surrounded by a comfortable interior setting, Bonnard's nudes look very much at ease with themselves, and as a result, these images have a natural and spontaneous quality, which enhances the intimacy of the scene. These women are depicted during their most private moments and convey the artist's sensitivity towards the rituals of the bourgeoisie.
In Le Canapé rose, completed in 1910, Bonnard presents his nude model resting, surrounded by richly-decorated fabrics that call to mind the works of his contemporary Vuillard and those which Matisse would later execute in Nice in the 1920s. Bonnard collapses perspective and interweaves the elements in this composition, invoking the Japanese prints that were such an important influence for him. There was a fine line between openness and vulnerability that was inherent in these compositions of nudes, and here Bonnard's careful attention to the arrangement of space ensures the delicate balance of the two qualities. The nude is captured here in a personal moment, and appears to be deeply absorbed in her thoughts, as if unaware of being watched.
As hallway wall art, the piece pairs naturally with other post-impressionist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
This is a genuine hand painted oil painting, not a canvas print. Our painters match the palette of The Pink Sofa by eye and build up the fine art forms in thin layers, which is what gives the finished fine art oil painting its luminosity.
Hang this fine art oil painting above a sofa, console, or bed to give a hallway an instant focal point. Its post-impressionist palette works with both minimalist and period interiors, and the piece also makes a considered gift for housewarmings, weddings, and art lovers.
