Creative manner
The last conductor of the aesthetics of impressionism , as it was called, Pierre Bonnard criticized the impressionists for the incomplete composition and naturalness of color. An artist of soft, muffled tones and relationships, Bonnard was one of the first to discover the inner or even intimate life of a woman. He painted interiors, Mediterranean and Parisian landscapes , everyday scenes. Towards the end of his life, Bonnard turned to rich color combinations, creating exquisite colorful compositions.
