More about this artwork

"Woman Putting on Her Stockings" by Pierre Bonnard is a captivating image of intimate simplicity and expressive use of color. Created in 1894, this painting portrays a seated woman in the process of pulling up her black stocking. The woman's form is stylized yet delicate, her posture suggesting movement and concentration on the task at hand.Bonnard's use of color here is illustrative of his post-impressionistic style, characterized by vivacious brushwork and a vibrant palette that borders on the abstract. The background is awash in a rich, golden yellow that contrasts sharply with the creamy whites and varied shades on the bed where the woman sits. The black of the stocking adds a strong visual element, providing a dramatic contrast to the lighter areas of the composition.This painting is a beautiful example of Bonnard’s ability to convey everyday moments with a profound sense of beauty and emotional depth, capturing an instance of personal, private life with both warmth and respect. The composition’s close focus and the cropped, intimate framing pull the viewer into this quiet scene, emphasizing the artist's fascination with the nuances of domestic life.

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.
