Édouard Vuillard

Along with Pierre Bonnard and Maurice Denis, Édouard Vuillard (1868 – 1940) was one of the most prominent figures in the artists' group that called itself the "Nabis" (prophets), founded in Paris in 1888. The group took up the principles of the Impressionists and then went beyond them. Their goal was to create an art that was liberated from the bounds of academic convention, where color – at times bold, at times muted and almost always independent of actual visual reality – was the main conveyer of mood. Typical for Vuillard was his choice of quiet, unspectacular motifs, including a special penchant for depicting interiors. In these scenes he boldly explored the interplay of colors across the picture plane, trying out unusual perspectives and adventurous cropping. This catalog pays tribute to Vuillard as an important painter, a virtuoso draftsman and a great innovator in the field of graphic art. A total of some 120 works are illustrated.
