Pierre Bonnard






What I am after is the first impression - I want to show all one sees on first entering the room - what my eye takes in at first glance.”

Color does not add a pleasant quality to design - it reinforces it.”

"A painting that is well-composed is half-finished."

--Pierre Bonnard

Bonnard is generally considered one of the best colorists of the twentieth century. These files definitely don't do his paintings justice. I recommend checking out a book of his paintings from the library.
