Édouard Vuillard
French, 1868–1940
Édouard Vuillard was a French Realism painter. 223 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art, most of them oil paintings. Édouard Vuillard was born in Cuiseaux.
Jean-Édouard Vuillard (French:; 11 November 1868 – 21 June 1940) was a French painter, decorative artist, and printmaker. From 1891 through 1900, Vuillard was a member of the avant garde artistic group Les Nabis, creating paintings that assembled areas of pure color. His interior scenes, influenced by Japanese prints, explored the spatial effects of flattened planes of color, pattern, and form.
As a decorative artist, Vuillard painted theater sets, panels for interior decoration, and designed plates and stained glass. After 1900, when the Nabis broke up, Vuillard adopted a more realistic style, approaching landscapes and interiors with greater detail and vivid colors. In the 1920s and 1930s, he painted portraits of figures in French industry and the arts in their familiar settings. Vuillard was influenced by Paul Gauguin, among other post-impressionist painters.
