Description: The first collection of the photographs of master Impressionist painter Pierre Bonnard, this work of scholarship documents the existing oeuvre of Bonnard's work, from delicate nature studies and landscapes in his native France and elsewhere in Euriope, to striking portraiture and intimate images of lovers, friends and family. The more than 276 photographs and illustrations, demonstrate the range and genius of Bonnard's work, and offer insights into his process as an artist. Bonnard's photographs wre the inspiration for several of his well-known works, among them the illustrations fro Parallèlemnt by Verlaine (1900) and Daphnis and Chloé by Longus (1902). The texts and critical annotations make important connections between Bonnard's photographs and his drawings and paintings.
