For Damien Le Bas, art and life were inseparable. His symbol-rich, text-laden works draw on Romani identity, lived experience and a refusal to conform – extending creativity into every corner of existence.

Pierre Bonnard : The Bathroom, 1932

Oil on canvas
47-5/8 x 46-1/2" | 121 x 118.2 cm

The scene is the bathroom of Bonnard’s own home and the woman naked at her toilette is the artist’s wife, Marthe, accompanied in the foreground by their dog, Pouce.

Further description in the alt text 👇
Although Marthe appears in many of Bonnard’s paintings, seldom is her face fully visible, creating a sense of casual intimacy. Bonnard painted his unstretched canvases from memory, assisted only by small sketches. His technique and his use of color—applied in seemingly spontaneous, discrete strokes—are indebted to Impressionism, but the flatness of the image and the high-pitched hues of color in this work were in deep accord with the latest modernist practices. The scene is the bathroom of Bonnard's own home—Le Bosquet, his house near Cannes—and the woman naked at her toilette is the artist's wife, Marthe. The choice of both space and figure, then, is intensely personal, and the work maintains a sense of privacy and even of confinement. Although Marthe appears in many of Bonnard's paintings, seldom is her face fully visible: here she bows her head low. The window is shuttered, sealing off the outside world. A painting in which the whites of bath and stool are brighter and more vibrant than the barred panel of daylight suggests claustrophobia as well as intimacy, even though Bonnard's extraordinary painted color implies the richness of the domestic and interior life. Bonnard's composition is asymmetrical, darker on the right than on the left, and its human subject is off-center and out of focus. His technique and use of color emerge from Impressionism, but advance the independence of paint quality and surface from form. Indeed the work's intensity as a field of color may outweigh its descriptiveness: overlapping planes, indistinct patterns, balanced areas of coolness and warmth, and close-valued hues create a blurring of edges and textures, a shimmer. Behind the curving foreground forms, systematic grids of rectangles and lozenges create a structure of eminent logic. Publication excerpt from The Museum of Modern Art, MoMA Highlights, New York

Early morning value sketches.

#drawing #marker #sketch
Gray-scale marker drawing of a group of trees rising from a bed of snow. A close up view of a few thick trunks, capturing crisscrossed shadows from their upper limbs, is in center view while thinner trees rise behind, in the distance. Gray-scale marker drawing of a house along Weybridge Street in Middlebury, VT. The tall, slender, white clapboard house sets covered in angular roofing displaying a large shadow from a tree to the right and out of view. Various slender windows dot the houses facades, topped with a chimney under a pale sky. Gray-scale marker drawing of buildings along Mauritskade in The Hague, Netherlands. Tall and squat stone buildings shoulder against each other as a slender tower rises to the right. Dark angular shadows run vertically along the structures, telling of the bright mid-day sun from the above right.
