The White Cupboard (1931)
Pierre Bonnard
French, 1867–1947
Oil on canvas
"Primary colors (red, yellow, blue) and simple vertical and horizontal lines create this quiet domestic scene. Seen from the back, Pierre Bonnard’s wife, Marthe, arranges tableware in the cupboard. By composing the image as he did, Bonnard invited the viewer into his home and offered a place at his table. This sense of intimacy and warmth is characteristic of his work. Bonnard, a former attorney, painted with feeling and from memory, rather than seeking to reproduce faithfully what he saw."

What I like most about this painting is the choice of colours. So filled with perspective that you feel like it is trying to tell you something. It’s beautiful that this could have been a picture embedded in his memory. Maybe one of those moments in his life, when he looked at his wife and fell in love with her all over again?
Thank you for this. I really enjoyed it! God bless! 🙂
