PIERRE BONNARD (1867-1947)

LA REVUE BLANCHE. 1894.


34 1/4x21 inches, 79 1/4x61 cm. Edw. Ancourt, Paris.
Condition B+: slight darkening in margins; minor creases and abrasions in margins and image. Matted and framed.

This intriguing image, from the "beguiling sloe-eyed Parisienne," to the "impertinent neckerchiefed newsboy," to the "top-hatted figure bent over the newsstand behind [them]," . . . is one of Bonnard's "most audacious graphic designs" (Ives p. 105ff). Maitres pl. 38, DFP-II 77, Word & Image p. 26, Modern Poster p. 8, Abdy p. 93, Maindron p. 41, Meisterplakate 14, Maitres 1900 p. 47, Bouvet 30.
