More about this artwork

"Model in Armchair" (circa 1905) by Pierre Bonnard is a compelling work that encapsulates the artist's fondness for intimate, personal scenes that express a sense of immediacy and emotional depth. In this painting, Bonnard captures the serene yet complex posture of a woman seated in an armchair. The model is depicted in a relaxed, almost contemplative pose, her body partially draped with a light fabric that blends harmoniously with her skin tone against the richly patterned textures of the chair and surroundings.Bonnard's use of color and light adds a soft luminosity to the scene, emphasizing the curves and form of the model's figure against the darker, muted background. The juxtaposition of the figure’s gentle, flowing lines with the bold, impressionistic strokes of the armchair creates a dynamic contrast, which is a testament to Bonnard’s skill in composing scenes that are both vibrant and nuanced.This painting not only showcases Bonnard's distinctive style of intimate domestic scenes but also reflects his ongoing interest in the interplay of light, color, and everyday life, marking it as a significant piece in his oeuvre.

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.
