Woman with a Dog by Pierre Bonnard, 1891

The enthusiastic critical and popular response to the recent Pierre Bonnard exhibition organized by the Kimball Art Museum of Fort Worth (November 2023–January 2024) and the Phillips Collection of Washington, D.C. (March­–June 2024) speaks both to the luminous beauty of the artist’s work and to the hunger for such beauty in the complicated world in which we live. 

Bonnard’s life straddled the 19th and 20th centuries, and his work inhabits a space— and indeed creates a link—between Impressionism and Modernism. One of the greatest colorists of all time, Bonnard created portraits, landscapes, and interiors built of luscious brushwork and informed by an artistic freedom that allowed him to envision the world in a dreamy, personal way unbound by constraints of true visual realism or academic artistic conventions. 

Art critic and adviser Judy Pomeranz explores Bonnard’s vision, his life, and his influences and the world in which he lived.
