Pierre Bonnard
“Corner of the Dining Room at Le Cannet,” 1932
oil on canvas, 31 7/8 x 35 3/8 in. (81 x 90 cm.),
Centre Pompidou, Paris.
One of the most interesting things about Bonnard’s paintings is the time warp created by their folding together of form, color and feeling. Everything contributes to a kind of slowness that relates to both art and life. We experience his surfaces as diaries of their own making, accruing with pauses and second thoughts in gentle or erratic brushstrokes, layers of color within color and tracts of contrasting textures. We sense both the time and emotion invested in them.
The same retinue of baskets, compotes, teapots, tablecloths and platters cycles through the images. As we move from canvas to canvas we feel the days pass and time stand still. Everything moves around, but nothing changes.
