The Story Behind the Painting

PAYSAGE BLANC à LA RIVIèRE
circa 1916
Oil on canvas
25 1/2 x 31 7/8 in.

Through his involvement with the Nabis at the beginning of the century, Bonnard had grown accustomed to using decorative stylistic elements in his paintings, such as flattened patches of color and bold contours. In his depictions of the southern French landscape, his use of this technique was extraordinarily effective in conveying the variations in the terrain. In the present work, he uses interlacing patches of color to form the rushing stream and a small town in the distance.

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 atmosphere that engulfs this area, Bonnard explored the infinite variations of light, the progressive changes of volumes and contours, and he experimented with varying perspectives.

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).

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

How It Is Made

Each canvas is painted entirely by hand with professional oil paints on artist-grade cotton canvas. No printing, giclée, or digital imaging is used at any stage, so the surface keeps the slight relief and color variation of real brushwork.
