MODERN ART SHOWS BONNARD PAINTINGS; Retrospective Display Includes Graphic Work by Colorist -Opens to Public Today

By Howard DEVREE

The Museum of Modern Art opens to the public today a retrospective exhibition of paintings and graphic work by Pierre Bonnard. More than eighty oils, a group of water-colors, a score of drawings, another score of lithographs and illustrations for books have been assembled to attest the fruitfulness of the career of this great French colorist, who died last year just before reaching 80.
