Pierre Bonnard was a Post-Impressionist painter and printmaker. Bonnard was born in Hauts-de-Seine, just west of Paris. After studying law to appease his father, Bonnard followed a more artistic path, taking classes at Academie Julian and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Bonnard joined les Nabis, along with Edouard Vuillard and Maurice Denis, merging painting with symbolism.

Bonnard created a number of lithographs, as printmaking surged in popularity over the course of his career. His graphic work includes illustrations, posters, portraits and figure drawing.

One of Bonnard’s favorite subject matters was his wife, who he painted and drew on a regular basis. While some of Bonnard’s prints are printed in black ink, he made a number of multi-color prints, as he was a talented colorist. Bonnard’s prints are greatly valued by museum and private collectors alike. His prints represent a golden age in the history of European printmaking.
