"Inspired by Paul Gauguin in the last decade of the nineteenth century, the Nabi painters saw themselves as prophets of a new art. While stylistically diverse, the group's members, including Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard as well as Maurice Denis, Félix, Vallotton, Aristide Maillol, Ker-Xavier Roussel, and Paul Ranson, shared a belief in art's intimate connection to everyday life. They worked across disciplines and media, experimenting with painting, ceramics, stained glass, textiles, theatrical sets and costumes, and more to break down the artificial barriers between the fine and decorative arts. The Nabis were also prolific printmakers, and their lithographs, poster designs, book illustrations, theater programs, and contributions to the literary journals, or 'little reviews,' that proliferated in Paris at the fin de siècle were a major part of their practice. This vibrantly illustrated book showcases rarely seen paintings, prints, and works of decorative art by these visionary artists, all from the holdings of Vicki and Roger Sant, dedicated collectors with a keen eye for exquisite examples of the Nabi aesthetic. Using the Sants' collection as a spring-board, leading scholars of European modernism have contributed texts exploring the relationship between Nabi art and intimacy, the role of the Nabi movement in formulating modernist art theory, the influence of Symbolist poetry and literature, and the Nabis' innovative printmaking techniques. Delving deep into their artistic philosophies, collaborations, and creative methods, the book offers rich insights into a transformative period in the international artistic avant-garde at the turn of the century. An extensive illustrated chronology recounts the overlapping lives and careers of the Nabis and their literary, artistic, and social contemporaries in Paris and beyond. This important and beautiful volume significantly enriches the understanding the Nabis' lasting contribution to the history of modern

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was one of a generation of artists that helped transform painting during the first half of the twentieth century. As a painter, he preferred to work from memory - imaginatively capturing the spirit of a moment and expressing it through his unique handling of colour and unconventional choice of composition. Focusing on Bonnard's work from 1912-47, this book presents a variety of landscapes and intimate domestic scenes which capture the passage of time. These works are the artist's memories creatively reconstructed to convey a sense of sensuality or melancholy. As well as looking at his processes, his reliance on photography and his ability to work on different subjects side-by-side, this book relocates Bonnard in the turbulent history of his times. Although modest and withdrawn, he was a subtle witness to events - both in the wider world and his more intimate circle - that can be seen to define the ways in which he thought about and made his very personal art. 0Channelling to the heart of Bonnard's position as an artist who maintained continuities with the past while developing an individual expression of his engagement with the world, this sumptuously illustrated book reveals Bonnard's transition from great colourist to Modernist master, and emphasises his place within the story of twentieth-century art. 00Exhibition: Tate Modern, London, UK (23.01.-16.05.2019) --
