1897
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1897 ink by Pierre Bonnard, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a small table with a red cloth. On it sits a dark blue vase with a white pattern near the top, and a tiny glass of red liquid. A person’s arm reaches in from the left, holding a spoon or small tool, while only their head and shoulders peek out from behind a green plant. The colors are flat and the lines are rough, almost like a quick drawing. The background looks like a window with a faint view of trees or bushes outside. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how artists make prints like this.
Pierre Bonnard was a French painter, illustrator and printmaker, known especially for the stylized decorative qualities of his paintings and his bold use of color.
