Even more than to see museums in Paris I thought going to see the Bonnards would be most important. They are so magical and what he did with pigment is astonishing.Linda Armantrouthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11650143944270334558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34091990.post-8000499297737434912009-10-03T07:29:14.826-07:002009-10-03T07:29:14.826-07:00He is most definitely THIS painter's painter!! I ...He is most definitely THIS painter's painter!! I spent 9 hours at his show at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris a couple of years ago, unable to tear myself away from the 90 works on show. I wanted to cry at the bookstore afterwards, when I compared what I had just seen, to the colour reproductions of his work in books. Pitiful!! One has to stand in front of Bonnard's work and allow the eye and brain to be seduced, to appreciate the genius of this very underrated painter. I feel so lucky to be having the very first Bonnard Museum open next year down the road from me in Le Cannet and intend to make it my second home!!Lynn Derrimanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04655820591179433116noreply@blogger.com
