Bonnard and the Nabis

About this book

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was the leader of a group of post-impressionist painters who called themselves The Nabis from the Hebrew word meaning ""prophet."" Other members of the group were Paul Serusier Edouard Vuillard Ker Xavier Roussel Maurice Denis and Felix Vallotton. Although drawn to each other by a common philosophy the work of the various members of the group varies widely and this book affords an excellent opportunity to contrast and compare it. This beautifully illustrated book offers a record of the work of a group of painters who are much underrated in the West.
