Pierre Bonnard's 'Le Salon des Cent' is a charming lithograph from 1893, advertising a Parisian exhibition. Its delicate lines and muted colours bring a touch of French elegance to any space.
Pierre Bonnard's 'Le Salon des Cent' is a captivating lithograph created in 1893 to advertise the 'Salon des Cent' exhibition in Paris. Bonnard, a key figure in the Post-Impressionist movement and a founding member of the avant-garde group Les Nabis, infused his work with a unique blend of intimacy and decorative sensibility. This poster exemplifies his innovative approach to lithography, showcasing a delicate balance between figuration and abstraction. The artwork depicts a woman in profile, her form rendered with fluid, calligraphic lines and subtle washes of colour. A small dog tugs at a string extending from the woman's hand, adding a touch of whimsy and domesticity. The composition is sparse yet elegant, with a large 'B' (for Bonnard) floating in the background. The limited colour palette, dominated by soft reds, blues, and blacks against a white ground, enhances the poster's refined aesthetic. As a fine art print, 'Le Salon des Cent' brings a touch of Parisian charm and artistic sophistication to any interior. Its delicate lines and muted colours make it a versatile piece that complements both modern and traditional decor. Perfect for a living room, study, or hallway, this print offers a glimpse into the vibrant art scene of late 19th-century Paris and the innovative spirit of Pierre Bonnard.

Pierre Bonnard
Pierre Bonnard, a leading figure of the Post-Impressionist movement and a founder of the avant-garde group Les Nabis, was far more than just a painter of intimate domestic scenes. While his sun-drenched interiors and depictions of daily life, like 'Dining Room on the Garden' (1934-35), are celebrated for their warmth and colour, Bonnard was a radical innovator, pushing the boundaries of perspective and composition. He challenged traditional notions of representation, favouring emotional resonance over strict realism. Bonnard's intensely personal style, developed through close observation and a deep connection to his surroundings, often featured his wife, Marthe de Méligny, as a recurring muse. His exploration of memory and sensation, evident in works such as 'Nude in the Bath' (1925), elevates the mundane to the sublime. Though sometimes labelled an Intimist, his artistic ambition extended far beyond mere depictions of private life, seeking to capture the very essence of lived experience. Despite initial recognition, Bonnard's reputation waned in the mid-20th century as abstraction gained prominence. However, his unique vision and masterful use of colour have since been rightfully reassessed. Today, Pierre Bonnard is recognised as a major force in modern art, whose paintings offer a profound meditation on beauty, memory, and the quiet poetry of everyday existence. His art prints bring a touch of French modernism to any space.
