Bonard, Pierre

(1867-1947)

Bonnard, Pierre (1867-1947) A French painter, influenced by Gauguin and by
Japanese art, Bonnard eventually gave up his work in graphics because of his
desire to work more fully with color. In his paintings of nudes, landscapes,
and still lifes he displayed great softness and gentleness while using tones of
deep intensity.
