Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) considered Japanese prints as an essential model for his commitment to modernity. These images, from a distant land, taught him new aesthetic principles that transformed his artistic practice. The French painter shared with the great masters of Japanese prints a sensitivity to human beings, nature, and animals, as well as a shared interest in the representation of everyday life combined with a certain fantasy.
Through a selection of prints by great Japanese masters as well as paintings, drawings, posters, engravings and photographs by Pierre Bonnard, the book Bonnard and Japan illustrates the connections between the art of the Land of the Rising Sun and the work of one of the greatest French painters.
