Pierre Bonnard (1867–1947) has come to be regarded as a colorist of extraordinary originality, and one who reshaped pictorial space as a vehicle for psychologically complex emotional states. This tightly focused exhibition of some ninety works concentrates on his interiors, still lifes, and figure paintings, including his self-portraits.

    How we identified these works
