More about this artwork

This painting by Pierre Bonnard, titled "Standing Naked Woman Washes Herself," portrays an intimate and serene moment of daily life. The artist captures a female figure, presumably in the privacy of a bathroom or a similar enclosed setting. The woman is depicted from behind, standing as she washes herself. Her posture and the turning of her head suggest that she is engaged in the act of bathing, possibly looking at a mirror or reaching for something.Bonnard's use of line and texture in this composition is notable. The sketchy, expressive lines give the piece a dynamic and somewhat incomplete feel, which is typical of many of Bonnard's works. His technique contributes to the sense of immediacy and casual observation, as if the scene was quickly captured in the moment without disrupting the subject's natural movements.The choice of a monochromatic palette, focusing on brown tones, enhances the warmth of the scene, making it feel more personal and secluded. This work is an example of Bonnard’s interest in exploring everyday private moments, portraying them with a sense of tenderness and genuine human experience.

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.
