About this book

Beyond the Easel Decorative Paintings by Bonnard, Vuillard, Denis, and Roussel, 1890-1930 by Groom, Gloria. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780865591899.

The notion of painting as decoration, as an integral enhancement of ones living space, is in many ways as relevant today as it was at the turn of the twentieth century. By that time, the private exterior was seen as a realm for meditation and retreat as much as for hospitality and social gathering. The paintings by Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, Maurice Denis, and Ker Xavier Roussel gathered here illustrate the rich and varied possibilities of an art that affirmed and enhanced what we refer to today as individual "life-styles."
