A Unique Encounter Between East and West
Pierre Bonnard, a prominent member of the Nabi group, was nicknamed the "Nabi very Japonard" due to his enthusiasm for Japanese art. At the end of the 19th century, a genuine fascination with Japan emerged in France, deeply influencing the artists of the time. Bonnard, captivated by Ukiyo-e prints, integrated Japanese aesthetic principles into his own work, thereby revolutionizing his approach to representing space, time, and movement.
The "Bonnard and Japan" exhibition allows you to explore how Bonnard transcended artistic boundaries by merging elements of Japanese art with his own techniques. As you explore this exhibition, you will witness how Bonnard adopted concepts such as the fluidity of movement, color contrast, and spatial flattening to create works that broke away from the naturalism and Impressionism of his time.

Caumont - Centre d'Art has designed a dynamic scenography for this exhibition, allowing for a dialogue between Bonnard’s works and Japanese prints from the prestigious Leskowicz collection. You will be captivated by the formal correspondences and aesthetic affinities between these works, revealing the importance of Japanese art in the development of Bonnard's unique style.
Through this immersive presentation, you will appreciate the subtlety of visual sensations and emotions that Bonnard captured in his paintings. The scenography highlights the aesthetic questions and shared ideas of artists who, despite being distant in time and space, are united by a common quest for beauty and the expression of fleeting emotions.
