Description
In 1889, avant-garde artists in Paris formed a brotherhood to promote a radical new direction in art. Adopting the name Nabis-Hebrew for "prophets"-they aimed to capture subjective experience and emotion in their paintings, prints, and drawings. This volume focuses on intimate views of home and family by four Nabi artists: Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947), Maurice Denis (1870-1943), Felix Vallotton (1865-1925), and Edouard Vuillard (1868-1940). For Bonnard and Denis, this arena was ideal for depicting small pleasures and modest acts of life; Vallotton and Vuillard, however, hinted at the tensions simmering just below the surface. This gorgeous catalogue is the first to delve deeply into the Nabis' use of domestic life as the locus for artistic inspiration. 00Exhibition: The Cleveland Museum of Art, USA (01.07.-19.09.?2021( / Portland Art Museum, OR, USA (24.10.2012-23.01.2022).
