More about this artwork

"Street Seen From Above, From The Series 'Some Aspects of Parisian Life'" by Pierre Bonnard is an evocative cityscape that provides a unique aerial perspective of urban life. In this lithograph, the artist employs a blend of sketch-like textures and a muted palette to depict a bustling street scene from an elevated viewpoint.The composition is dominated by two parallel rows of buildings guiding the viewer's eye down a narrow, winding street in the middle. The buildings are rendered in gray and yellow tones, helping to highlight their dense, intricate architecture, typically Parisian with their distinct, ornamented façades. The use of heavy shadows and outlines gives depth to the structures, emphasizing the confining nature of urban spaces.In the background, the sky is illustrated with soft, swirling clouds depicted in a muted yellow. This choice adds a dreamy and somewhat timeless quality to the scene, contrasting sharply with the structured urban environment below. The sky's vastness also evokes a sense of openness that contrasts with the compact nature of the street and buildings.Bonnard's technique involves loose, dynamic strokes that convey movement and life, suggesting the hum of activity that characterizes a city street.

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was a French post-impressionist painter, printmaker, and the leader of the Intimist art movement. He is regarded as one of the greatest colourists of modern art. Together with other young artists in Montmarte, Bonnard co-founded the group known as Les Nabis, translated from the arabic word “prophet”. He was known for a painting style that was very intimate, featuring friends in a garden, nudes, interiors and sunlit objects of everyday life. He began by painting in watercolor, composing scenes and deeply familiarizing himself with the subject, before transferring the composition to canvas. In many of his paintings, his mistress Marthe was the main subject. She was his most important model and was often pictured nude, after 30 years they finally married.
