DESCRIPTION:
Very well illustrated Benjamin Bonnard and the Nabis includes the work of Pierre Bonnard along with Edouard Vuillard, Ker Xavier Roussel, Maurice Denis and Felix Vallotton. The first half of the book concerns Bonnard; in pages seven through fifty-nine the well illustrated text discusses his life and work. The Masterworks runs from page sixty to one hundred and thirteen, and comprises full page plates of Bonnard's paintings, occasi. "Great content, ALL color plates and great colors!" according to ClairedeLune. This is a 5 STAR book. The color plates (They are ALL color) are excellent as far as reproduction is concerned, and there are plenty of them. The text is informative, bringing in other painters and their paintings for references.The text and the plates shed light on the Nabis, in a useful way. Though a 2005 edition, the pages are still pristine. So, I highly recommend this book.

Pierre Bonnard was the leader of a group of post-impressionist painters who called themselves the Nabis, from the Hebrew word meaning ‘prophet’. The works presented in this collection offer a palette of extraordinary poetic expressions: candid in Bonnard, ornamental and mysterious in Vuillard, gently dream-like in Denis, grim and almost bitter in Vallotton, the author shares with us the lives of these artists to the very source of their creative gifts.. An increasing individualism in their art often threatened the group’s unity and although tied together by a common philosophy their work clearly diverged. This publication lets us compare and put into perspective the artists within this fascinating group. Influenced by Odilon Redon and Puvis de Chavanne, by popular imagery and Japanese etchings, this post-impressionist group was above all a close circle of friends who shared the same cultural background and interests.
