Une exhibition de Pierre Bonnard

After buying some dolls, we went to the Pierre Bonnard exhibition in Aix. It was the last day so it was quite busy.

I wasn’t familiar with Bonnard’s work – a post-impressionist – but liked a lot of the paintings on display.

He was influenced by Japanese artists.

Bonnard liked to paint cats.. and dogs

Bonnard loved to paint nature – particularly once he moved to Le Cannet en Provence.

This is the almond tree in his garden in Le Cannet – the tree is still there apparently

Afterwards we went for a stroll around the gardens of le Caumont Centre D’Art.

A lovely setting

A lovely day out in Aix.
