Born in 1867, Bonnard shaped himself between the end of Impressionism and the Nabi movement, then he free himself from any artistic current and any convention developing a very personal image. With his sensitive view of the world, he paints intimate subjects, interiors or nudes, windows opening on the garden or impressionist effects served by light and luminous color palettes. Beneath an apparent simplicity, Bonnard's work reveals itself to be complex, full of nuances and as if detached from time. Besides, he could not help retouching his paintings once they were purchased or exhibited.
