Pierre Bonnard: The Colour Of Memory

Exhibition at the Tate Modern, London, 23 January - 6 May 2019

French painter Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was, with Henri Matisse, one of the greatest colourists of the early 20th century. He preferred to work from memory, imaginatively capturing the spirit of a moment and expressing it through his unique handling of colour and innovative sense of composition.

This exhibition catalogue concentrates on Bonnard's work from 1912, when colour became a dominant concern, until his death in 1947. It presents landscapes and intimate domestic scenes which capture moments in time - where someone has just left the room, a meal has just finished, a moment lost in the view from the window, or a stolen look.
