The Parisian world of Edouard Vuillard 1890-1914 Paris at the turn of the century was exciting, progressive and eclectic and a magnet for artists lured by the fame of figures such as Cezanne and Gauguin. It was into this world that Vuillard (1868-1940) emerged as a founder member of the Nabis group and, together with Bonnard, became a leading practitioner of intimate domestic scenes known as intimisme. This course will set the early career of Vuillard against the background of fin-de-siecle Paris, the Exposition Universelle of 1900, avant-garde theatre, music and ballet together with the work of young experimental artists such as Bonnard, Derain, Picasso and Matisse. |
