Video lecture on Bonnard’s Dining Room in the Country

The following link will bring you to a wonderful video focused on Pierre Bonnard’s Dining Room in the Country, which is currently on loan:

“An extraordinary loan from the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, this work represents Pierre Bonnard’s dining room, along with his wife and cats, at his country house in Vernonnet, a small town outside of Paris on the Seine River. Rather than painting from life, Bonnard created the work entirely from memory, foregrounding his subjective responses over an optical experience of the interior and landscape.”
