Cats, dogs, flowers, daily scenes around the home and grounds!! How can private, homebody, art and color loving Ciwt resist private, homebody, color loving artist Pierre Bonnard (Fr. 1867-1947)
She can't; every time she sees a Bonnard work some part of her relaxes right into his scene. He captures the intimacy of living life without being intrusive or overly cute or judging or trying to understand his subject. There is the ultimate mystery of other people no matter how close, but not detachment. Through his complex commingling of color, light, shade Bonnard communicates the dearness to him of all that fills his daily life. The scenes out the window, the pets, the people, the routines, the hush.
Even when he was a young art student in the heart of vibrant Paris, Bonnard finds each individual passerby going about his or her life.

His true artistic life began shortly after his student years. Neither political nor interested in the many artistic style debates surrounding him in Paris, he became more and more free to paint the subjects that called to him in ways he developed and refined on his own.
