Bonnard, Pierre 1867-1947
French painter and lithographer

Born in Paris, he joined the group called 'Les Nabis', which included Maurice Denis and Édouard Vuillard, with whom he formed the Intimist group. His style was formed under the influence of Impressionism, Japanese prints and the works of Paul Gauguin and Toulouse-Lautrec. Ignoring the movement towards abstraction, he continued to paint interiors and landscapes, in which everything is subordinated to the subtlest rendering of light and colour effects.
