Looking for fine art oil painting with real brushwork? The Port of Cannes 1940 is reproduced by hand in oils on artist-grade canvas after Pierre Bonnard. The result is a piece of post-impressionist oil painting wall decor that anchors an entryway and rewards a closer look.
LE PORT DE CANNES
circa 1940
Gouache and pencil on paper
From 1910 onwards, Bonnard spent an increasing amount of time along the Mediterranean coast of France, finally purchasing a villa near Le Cannet, "Le Bosquet". Fascinated by the Mediterranean landscape, he spent much of his time capturing the port of Cannes. Strongly taken by the luminosity and the maritime atmosphere that engulfs this area, Bonnard explored the infinite variations of light, the progressive changes of volumes and contours, and experimented with varying proximities.
Bonnard gave the same amount of thought and attention to his works on paper as he did to his oil paintings. In this gouache, Bonnard emphasises the juxtaposition between the yacht masts and the horizon line. He transforms the port into a mosaic of colors: the blues become intense, the reds blazing, the oranges vibrant, and the yellows brilliant. In 1928, André Lhote commended the artist in an enthusiastic article, "A never ending innovative organisation of the canvas, in which the grimness is hidden under nonchalant appearances, as well as the sonorous and complicated colour harmonies" (André Lhote, La Revue Fran?aise, January 1, 1929).
As entryway wall decor, the piece pairs naturally with other post-impressionist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
Trained artists work in stages — underpainting, mid-tones, highlights, and detail — using traditional oils on canvas. Because nothing is printed, every hand painted oil painting has its own subtle texture and depth.
For entryway wall decor that does not feel generic, a painted fine art canvas is hard to beat. It is a popular fine art oil painting pick for new homeowners and a durable alternative to seasonal poster art.
In short: The Port of Cannes 1940 - Pierre Bonnard - Hand Painted Oil Painting combines a post-impressionist composition, a 100% hand painted oil painting process, and the flexibility of made-to-order canvas sizes — a dependable choice for fine art oil painting and entryway wall decor.
