More about this artwork

"Street Scene, Place Clichy" by Pierre Bonnard is a vivid and bustling composition that captures the essence of a lively urban environment. The painting portrays a crowded street scene in the Place de Clichy, a well-known public square in Paris.In this artwork, Bonnard employs his characteristic loose and expressive brushwork, which adds a sense of movement and spontaneity to the scene. The foreground features a coach, depicted through thick, impasto strokes of yellow and black, hinting at the reflection of light on its surface, possibly from nearby street lamps or shop windows. This vehicle, perhaps a focal point of modernity amidst the crowd, suggests the hustle and bustle typical of city life.Surrounding the coach is a throng of people, their forms rendered in dark tones contrasted with dashes of white, which may represent the light catching on different surfaces. The figures are somewhat abstract, with no distinct facial features, emphasizing the anonymous nature of city dwellers in a bustling setting.In the background, you can see the façade of city buildings, dimly lit by the ambient urban glow. Signs on the buildings are visible, with words like "VINS" and "MODES," indicating shops selling wine and fashion, respectively.

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.
