Bonnard En Seine

<p>To celebrate its tenth anniversary, the mus&eacute;e des impressionnismes Giverny is seeking to acquire a work by Pierre Bonnard: <em>The Seine at Vernon</em>.</p> <p>The work is valued at &euro;350,000:&nbsp;We have 45 days in which to raise the last &euro;30,000. With your help, we will be able to display this work in the museum, just a few miles from where it was created.</p> <hr /> <h2>Pierre Bonnard and Normandy</h2> <p>Pierre Bonnard was one of the founders of the Nabi movement.</p> <p>He painted this work in 1915 in the garden of his property nicknamed &ldquo;La Roulotte&rdquo;, which was located a few kilometres from Giverny and the house of his friend Claude Monet.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/608174/1__c__Office_de_Tourisme_Nouvelle_Normandie-1564068504.jpeg" style="width: 500px; height: 375px;" /></p> <p><em>La Roulotte</em>, house of Pierre Bonnard. Mairie de Vernon &copy; Office de Tourisme Nouvelle Normandie</p> <p>Like Monet, Bonnard drew inspiration chiefly from nature, which provided him with a wealth of material.&nbsp;In this work, the artist highlights the dense, wild vegetation as well as the banks of the Seine at dusk.</p> <p>A few areas of impasto contrast with the particularly fluid use of oil paint. The supple, rhythmic brushwork is highly gestural, notably in the foreground. In many respects, this painting is a forerunner of American abstract art of the 1950s. Like that of Monet, Bonnard&rsquo;s work inspired a new generation of painters who would in turn change the course of art history.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/621472/8-1570184116.JPG" style="width: 500px; height: 587px;" /></p> <p>Pierre Bonnard, <em>The Seine at&nbsp;Vernon</em>, 1915 (detail).
