LA RUE AUX VOLETS VERTS
circa 1935
Oil on paper mounted on canvas
Pierre Bonnard can be considered one of the greatest colorists of the Modern era. Under the influence of Gauguin as a young artist in Les Nabis, Bonnard learned to strip art to the essentials of color, surface and form. Bonnard was greatly influenced by Japanese woodblock prints, as he learned color could express anything, including light, forms and character. In his later life, Bonnard's focus settled on capturing the particularities of his surroundings through his artistic vision. As André Fermigier notes, "from 1930 on he uses color with surprising boldness and freedom. The local color of objects disappears, along with the conventional drawing of their forms. Bonnard transposes reality entirely into the color range which for so long had been his favorite, one abounding in mauves, lilacs, oranges, pinks, and violet-blues" (André Fermigier, Pierre Bonnard, New York, 1969, p. 39).
La rue aux volets verts was executed around the time the artist moved to Le Cannet near the French Riviera and is exemplary of Bonnard's fascination with color. Conjuring a scene without time or place, Bonnard's dynamic palette transforms an ordinary city street into a harmony of green, orange and violet. Bonnard's mastery of color earned him praise from André Lhote, who suggested, "there are two families of painters who would employ particularly pleasing harmonies: the first, like Van Gogh, using the chromatic triangle of red-yellow-blue; the second, like Bonnard, violet-green-orange" (Jean Clair, "The adventures of the optic nerve," in Bonnard, The Late Paintings, London, 1984, p. 41).
Every hand painted oil painting in this cityscape series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
We use a 100% hand-painted process: stretched artist-grade canvas, layered oil pigment, and a final protective varnish. There are no inkjet prints or mechanical reproductions in this collection — just a painted cityscape artwork made to order.
Build a dining room gallery wall around this cityscape oil painting, or let it stand alone as a single statement. The hand painted canvas finish keeps the cityscape composition looking intentional in both classic and contemporary rooms.
