Pitcher 1931

"Pitcher" is a 1931 still life by Pierre Bonnard, one of the leading figures in the Post-Impressionist movement known for his use of color and light. Bonnard's work is characterized by its focus on domestic scenes, often featuring a vase of flowers, as seen in this painting. The artist's use of loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors creates a sense of intimacy and warmth, drawing the viewer into the scene. The subject matter of the work, a simple vase of flowers on a table, is elevated to a status of beauty and serenity, highlighting Bonnard's ability to find inspiration in the everyday.
