Bonnard's color is warm, he's a painter with a warm heart.Thank you for posting with good music
“Slow Looking”: Brilliant! Tate Gallery has hit upon a new innovation that one could
only enjoy during the “off hours” on weekdays as opposed to weekends; definitely not
Sundays! I have always loved Bonnard’s works since I first laid eyes on them. I am drawn
to color. Pure color and powerful: Dufy, Prendergast, and, of course, Van Gogh. I do hope
more galleries and museums throughout the world will at least set aside certain days and
hours when visitors can relax and really study and process the works of great artists, not
only their techniques, but more importantly, I believe, is the emotional state in which each
work was created. This type of viewing and contemplation cannot be achieved while the
gallery- and museum-goers are crowded together, shoulder to shoulder, and then herded
along like cattle to the next work, and then the next, and so on. Thank you, Tate Gallery!
Beautiful ❤
Stephen always paints his own pictures with words
I really like the Paintings of Bonnard - they are quite phantastic when seen in reality. This very short show was also interesting but much too short
quite lovely
It is pleasin to the eye yes though not particularly good art as a lot of his paintings are dabbly and blurred.
Did I hear that correctly about the Tate giving you 'timed' tickets??
A very fine autumnal suit -
Stephen is wearing.
You need such, before a Bonnard. 😉
Very good advice - just stop up - take a longer look - and feel the painting -
Talking heads are full screen...but not the art. What priorities?
Far too crowded. Packing them in. Unable to enjoy it.
Too many words describing mediocrity..
Are you stating that Bonnard is mediocre?
Pierre Bonnard 'the painter of happiness' ...hmm? Don't see much happiness in his stuff - only a reluctant resignation to an awkard, smudged domesticity. I have a few books on him because he did paint some remarkable pictures in amongst his otherwise ill conceived oeuvre.
‘’ill conceived oeuvre.’’
