BONNARD, Pierre
LA SIESTE |
| Code: |
PE B96 - Giclee Print |
| Description: |
'La Sieste' also called 'The Artists Studio' is an early instance of the many studies Pierre Bonnard made of the intimate setting of the model in the artists studio. From a high angle we look down on a scene of drowsy abandonment. The picture has a rich pattern of wallpapers, tumbled sheets, warm flesh, tactile objects, e.g. books, cups, the dog. A masterly example of Bonnard's sensual art and refinement of his style.
Bonnard was a student of the Academie Julien and became a member of the 'nabis' or 'prophets'. Later at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts he met Vuillard who became his lifelong friend and together they developed the intimate domestic interior scenes called 'Intimiste'. Bonnard�s life was relatively serene and uneventful and his finest work radiates a sense of well-being that won him great popularity with both collectors and the general public.
