Édouard Vuillard: The Poetry of the Everyday
No Customer Reviews
* Explores Édouard Vuillard's early career combining intimate subject matter with abstraction by simplifying pictorial elements and observing decorative fabrics and wallpapers During the 1890s and early 1900s Édouard Vuillard (1868-1940) produced a body of work that combines intimate subject matter with abstract form through the simplification of pictorial elements and observation of decorative fabrics and wallpapers. Through these devices he developed an art that is unashamedly decorative and yet always replete with subtle suggestions of deeper meanings. In balancing form and content, psychological drama and abstraction, his pictures are about as close to poetry as any artist's, and all the more brilliant for their understatement and the near imperceptibility of their craft. Illustrating many rarely seen paintings from private collections, this book offers a fresh look at the early career of this much-loved artist. Introduced by Chris Stephens, director of the Holburne Museum, and with an original essay by Belinda Thompson.
