Books : Arts & Photography : Artists, A-Z : ( V-Z ) : Vuillard, Edouard
-
The contributions of artists Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, Maurice Denis, and Ker-Xavier Roussel to the avant-garde of the 1890s as members of the group known as the Nabis are widely recognized. What is less known about these artists' careers is their work in decorative painting—work on a large or unusual scale. This gorgeous book reproduces 85 decorative works carried out by the four artists between 1890 and 1930. During this time each moved beyond the illusionism of easel painting and applied his wholly untraditional aesthetic of décoration to a traditional wide range of works for domestic interiors, from wall-size ensembles to screens. The book also examines the tastes and the role of the patrons who made these works possible.Bringing together works from public and private collections, this book introduces and reunites paintings that have long been dispersed and presents to contemporary viewers bold and evocative works that literally expanded the role of painting as part of the modern experience
-
Inspired by contemporary Symbolist theory and the art of Paul Gauguin, the Nabis set out to revolutionize traditional aesthetics, turning their talents to painting, printmaking, posters, book illustration, textiles, furniture, and theatre design. Their common aim was to make art part of everyday life.

Edouard is widely recognised as one of the most brilliant and sensuous painters of the twentieth century. He was a quiet and perceptive observer, whose paintings are both tender and intriguing in theie portrayal of human relationships. This monograph follows his development from his early association with the Nabis painters, his small-scale interiors and his sumptuous but refined use of colour, to his theatre decorations and later portraits. Other work by the author includes "The Post Impressionists" and "Gauguin".

This book covers all of Vuillard's work and explores his association with a number of important stylistic groups, such as the Nabis and Symbolists.

Edouard Vuillard, one of the great post-impressionists, is especially loved for his small easel paintings, but the fabulous large-scale decorative schemes that he created for wealthy Parisian homes are a relatively unknown aspect of his oeuvre. In this lavishly illustrated study, Gloria Groom examines fifty of these daring and important paintings and recreates and reevaluates their original settings. She provides valuable new information about Vuillard`s career, a fresh perspective on his thinking about art, a discussion of "decoration" as a new painting style, and an entertaining social history of fin-de-siecle Paris.

The art of Édouard Vuillard (1868-1940) spans two centuries: a leading protagonist of Post-Impressionism, Vuillard also took part in the renewal of the decorative arts after 1900.
This catalogue raisonné of the paintings and pastels of Édouard Vuillard provides an extraordinary opportunity to look again more carefully and above all, comprehensively. Hundreds of photographs taken by Vuillard himself, together with an unprecedented collection of preparatory drawings and sketches, focus more closely on the artist's creative process than has any previous study. These three voumes present a compelling re-examination of Vuillard's work and recommends itself to experts and art lovers alike.

One of the main founders of the Nabi movement, with Bonnard, Ranson and his brother-in-law K.-X. Roussel, Edouard Vuillard slowly developed a very personal style that ignored the avant-garde, even though he had been a herald of it. Between the Primitivism of the Pont-Aven school, and the examples of Gauguin and Fauvism, and even Abstraction, he experimented with a new language of painting and found his intimist style through the most ordinary, banal subjects, which were part of his personal life. He was the painter of domestic intimacy, the warmth of the home, of silent and secret interiors, and his mother, whom he lived with, was his main model. He was closely involved in the adventure of avant-garde theater, through his work with Lugne-Poe and the Theatre de l'Oeuvre, and worked intensely with the Revue Blanche, which had a major influence on the cultural life of the essential turn-of-the-century period. The Revue Blanche opened the doors to the world of Proust to him when he became a well known portrait painter. To better understand this discreet yet essential painter, Jean-Jacques Leveque has chosen to approach his life and work through a series of sequences that examine themes, look closely at the meaning behind his simplest subjects, and sketch a progressive portrait of Vuillard in his plenitude and sumptuous independence.
