Pierre Bonnard (1867 – 1947) was a French painter, illustrator and printmaker, known especially for the stylized decorative qualities of his paintings, and his bold use of color.  A founding member of the Post-Impressionist group of painters called "Les Nabis" ("Prophets", a group of young French artists active in Paris from 1888 until about 1900), Bonnard was a leading figure in the transition from Impressionism to Modernism.  He painted landscapes, urban scenes, portraits and intimate domestic scenes, where the backgrounds, colors and the painting style usually took precedence over the subject.  Throughout the early 20th century, as artistic styles appeared and disappeared, Bonnard kept refining and revising his personal style, and exploring new subjects and media, but kept the distinct characteristics of his work.
