This beautiful poster created after Pierre Bonnard for a retrospective of his work at The Galerie des Ponchettes in Nice, France, is a great example of the artist's bold use of color. Bonnard was a founding member of the Post-Impressionist group of avant-garde painters Les Nabis, and his early work was strongly influenced by the work of Paul Gauguin, and the prints of Hokusai and other Japanese artists.

He was a leading figure in the transition from impressionism to modernism. He painted landscapes, urban scenes, portraits and intimate domestic scenes, where the backgrounds, colors and painting style usually took precedence over the subject.
