Born in 1867, Pierre Bonnard was, with Henri Matisse, a French painter who became well-known for his unconventional use of colour, illustrating in his paintings scenes of everyday life and capturing the spirit of the moment through his unique handling of colour and composition. At this exhibition visitors will be lucky enough to discover breakthrough works such as: “Coffee”(1915), “Studio with Mimosa”(1939-1946) and Dining Room in the country”(1913).
