Bonnard, The Terrace, 1918
Pierre Bonnard was born on this day in 1867.
Charles Baudelaire had this to say about Bonnard's art...
He admires the eternal beauty and the astonishing harmony of life in the capital cities, a harmony so providentially maintained in the tumult of human liberty. He gazes at the landscapes of the great city, landscapes of stone, now swathed in the mist, now struck in full face by the sun.
What a compliment.
