More about this artwork

Édouard Vuillard's "Interior with a Screen" (circa 1893) offers a profound exploration of domestic intimacy, expressed through his unique post-impressionist style. This intricate black and white lithograph captures a moment of everyday life that seems both transient and timeless. The composition focuses on several figures, delicately rendered amidst an elegantly patterned folding screen and soft floral decorations, which add both texture and depth to the scene.The artwork is characterized by Vuillard's attention to the subtleties of indoor lighting and shadow, elements that enhance the mystery and quiet drama of the piece. Distinct figures are enveloped in soft, voluminous garments, suggesting both comfort and the anonymity of domestic roles. One figure stands near the screen, effectively partitioned from another who is partially obscured, fostering a sense of separation and intrigue.Vuillard’s masterful use of perspective and composition invites viewers to contemplate the relationships and stories unfolding within this interior space.

Jean-Édouard Vuillard (11 November 1868 – 21 June 1940) was a French painter, decorative artist, and printmaker. From 1891 through 1900, Vuillard was a prominent member of the avant garde artistic group Les Nabis, creating paintings that assembled areas of pure color. His interior scenes, influenced by Japanese prints, explored the spatial effects of flattened planes of color, pattern, and form. As a decorative artist, Vuillard painted theater sets, panels for interior decoration, and designed plates and stained glass. After 1900, when the Nabis broke up, Vuillard adopted a more realistic style, approaching landscapes and interiors with greater detail and vivid colors. In the 1920s and 1930s, he painted portraits of prominent figures in French industry and the arts in their familiar settings.

Vuillard was influenced by Paul Gauguin, among other post-impressionist painters.
