Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) is among the great artists whose work undoubtedly marked the twentieths century. This book, which accompanies a major retrospective of the artist's work at the Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris, shows how Bonnard's contribution to a 'modern' conception of painting makes him a decisive figure in the history of twentieth-century art. Including essay's by a cast of distinguished writers, new interviews with those who knew Bonnard or whose work has been influenced by him, unpublished archival photographs and diary drawings, and full-colour reproductions of 100 paintings, this book provides a major reassessment of the artist's contribution to the history of modernism, as well as a beautifully produced record of his life and work.
