Pierre Bonnard was born in Fontenay-aux-Roses not far from Paris. He was a law student before transferring to the Beaux-Arts, and he later attended the Academie Julian. Bonnard's earliest works were theatrical sets, furniture decorations, screens, and posters, for he shared a studio with a theatrical producer. He also contributed regularly to periodicals and did illustrations for books. o He had his first exhibition of paintings in 1896. Bonnard, like Vuillard, with whom he was always closely linked, was an intimist, a painter constantly delighted by the most ordinary objects and actions, to which he brought a constant freshness. Bonnard was one of the founders of the Nabis (or prophets) group of Symbolist artists (along with Maurice Denis, Ker-Xavier roussel, and Edouard Vuillard) in the 1890s. His paintings are distinguished for their ravishing colors; his prints, however, tend to be more focused on line, massing monochromatic areas with elegance, grace, and power. His work, according to The Oxford Dictionary of Twentieth-Century Ar t, radiates a sense of warmth and well-being. In recent years, there hads been a major resurgence of interest in Bonnard signalled by the publication of several major books and the mounting of several important retrospectives.
