Postcard Pierre Bonnard - The White Cat (detail), 1894

IC005543

Here Bonnard uses distortion to humorously depict this cat arching its back. It is a strange animal, standing disproportionately tall on its legs, its head tucked into its shoulders, its eyes slanted and its expression cunning. It seems both familiar and wild.

The work and its artist

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947)

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947)

A major post-impressionist painter of 20th century art, he was at first one of the painters of the Nabis group with whom he remained in friendship throughout his life. However, he developed an independent and unclassifiable work, offering the appearance of simplicity although of a rare complexity, without taking into account the major movements of his time such as cubism or surrealism.
