More about this artwork

"The Basket of Fruit" painted by Pierre Bonnard in 1922 is a visually intimate portrayal that beautifully encapsulates the artist's penchant for infusing everyday scenes with vibrancy and light. This painting features an overflowing basket of citrus fruits, predominantly lemons, vividly set against a softly blended background that suggests a domestic setting. Bonnard's use of contrasting colors and impressionistic brushstrokes heightens the sensory appeal of the fruit, making them appear lush and tactile.Placed upon a dark table or surface, the basket leans gently, giving a sense of casual placement that adds to the spontaneous feel of the composition. To the right, a single apple and possibly another fruit sit beside the basket, further emphasizing abundance. The artist's skill in manipulating light and color to create depth and warmth is particularly evident, as the fruits seem to glow from within, drawing the viewer's eye and emphasizing the simplicity yet richness of the subject matter.Bonnard, known for his intimate, warm interiors and still life compositions, remains true to form in this work, offering a scene that is at once familiar and inviting, evocative of the simplicity and beauty of everyday objects. This painting not only showcases his mastery over color and form but also reflects the comforting tranquility found in the mundane.

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.
