More about this artwork

"Le lever, les bas" (circa 1906-1910) by Pierre Bonnard is an evocative exploration into the private, ordinary moments that compose daily life. This painting captures an intimate scene of a woman seated, deeply engrossed in the simple act of putting on her stockings. Bonnard's use of color and light brings a vibrancy to the otherwise mundane routine, highlighting the beauty found in everyday simplicity.Bonnard's brushwork is loose and expressive, a hallmark of his mature style, which allows the colors to shimmer with life. The background, painted in broad strokes of deep red, frames the woman, drawing attention to her figure bathed in subtle, soft hues of blue and pink. The unfinished edges of the canvas suggest a snapshot, a moment caught in time, emphasizing the spontaneity that Bonnard often infused into his works.This painting is a testament to Bonnard's fascination with the domestic sphere and his ability to elevate the ordinary to a subject worthy of artistic contemplation.

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.
