Pierre
Bonnard was born in Fontenay-aux-Roses not far from Paris.
He was a law student before transferring to the Beaux-Arts, and he
later attended the Académie Julian. There he met Denis, Sérusier,
and Vuillard, among others, and in about 1891 he joined their group,
known as the Nabis (prophets). |
They called Bonnard the Japanese Nabis because of his interest in
the works of Paul Gauguin.
(who was strongly influenced by the art of the Far East) and in the
Japanese prints that Sérusier had brought from Pont-Aven. Bonnard's
earliest works were theatrical sets, furniture decorations, screens,
and posters, for he shared a studio with the theatrical producer Lugné-Poë,
and with Vuillard and Denis. He also contributed regularly to the
periodical La Revue Blanche, made a set of lithographs based on aspects
of life in Paris for Ambroise Vollard, and did illustrations for books.
He had his first exhibition of paintings in 1896.
