More about this artwork

The work titled "Pierre Bonnard" by Odilon Redon, created in 1900, presents a compelling portrait of the French painter Pierre Bonnard, a prominent figure in the Post-Impressionist and Nabis movements. Redon's representation, masterfully executed in lithography, captures a profound sense of contemplation and introspective depth.The portrait is rendered in delicate yet expressive lines that emphasize Bonnard's distinctive facial features—his sharp nose, deep-set eyes, and the precise outline of his beard, all contributing to the atmospheric intensity of the work. The side-profile view further accentuates the thoughtful demeanor of Bonnard, suggesting a moment of private reflection or a pause in creative thought.This piece not only showcases Redon's skill in portraiture but also evokes a glimpse into the quiet, personal world of Pierre Bonnard. It invites viewers to ponder the interplay of artistic personalities and styles during a vibrant era of artistic innovation and cross-pollination among artists.

Odilon Redon was a French symbolist painter, printmaker, draughtsman and pastellist. Early in his career, both before and after fighting in the Franco-Prussian War, he worked almost exclusively in charcoal and lithography, works referred to as noirs. 

During the 1890s he began working in pastel and oils, which quickly became his favourite medium, abandoning his previous style of noirs completely after 1900. He also developed a keen interest in Hindu and Budhist religion and culture, which increasingly showed in his work.

He is perhaps best known today for the "dreamlike" paintings created in the first decade of the 20th century, which were heavily inspired by Japanese art and which, while continuing to take inspiration from nature, heavily flirted with abstraction. His work is considered a precursor to both Dadaism and Surrealism.
