Artist Pierre Bonnard (1867 – 1947) distanced himself from the world, which attributed to his stylistic diversity and keen introspection. Bonnard loved the trivia of everyday life, turning it into an art form. His interiors are joyously bright, streaming with light and color. Bonnard was a member of the Nabis (meaning “prophets”), a group of artists who utilized color and composition to create a specific mood. Remarkably diverse, Bonnard also illustrated books and designed furniture, textiles, stained glass, lithographs and stage sets.
