Summary
"Bonnard's Worlds is organized by the Kimbell Art Museum and by The Phillips Collection, which holds the most important group of Pierre Bonnard's paintings outside France. The exhibition was inspired by the Kimbell's 2018 acquisition of the painter's 'Le Cannet,' a stunning work that encompasses the artist himself, his recently purchased house, and the gorgeous vistas surrounding it - a very personal theme for a work that was made specifically for a patron's home. The personal nature of Bonnard's oeuvre as a whole forms the basis for this exhibition's examination of his "worlds" - central themes that repeat throughout his long career. The exhibition's selection and arrangement, as reflected in this book's catalogue entries, reveal these worlds in order of increasing intimacy, from expansive views of Paris or the countryside, to gardens and terraces, to indoor spaces with views through windows or open doors, to dining rooms and sitting rooms, into the private spaces of bedrooms and bathrooms, and, finally, into the artist's own mirror, reflecting his hauntingly personal self-portraits. Because the works in the catalogue are not grouped by date or geography, a chronology offers a biography of the painter, while three essays by distinguished scholars explore the places most essential to Bonnard's development - Paris, Normandy, and the South of France - and a fourth essay examines Bonnard's legacy through his critical reception in the United States. Bonnard's World's offers visitors and readers the opportunity to look closely at more than seventy works, brought together from across the world and placed in visually thought-provoking juxtapositions, to better understand how Bonnard portrayed his own worlds of experience in works of art." - Front jacket flap
