Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was an extraordinary colorist whose work bridges the 19th and 20th centuries.

Though not as famous today as Picasso or Van Gogh, he was greatly admired by his contemporaries - Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec and Renoir. After his death, Matisse called him "the greatest among us." Known particularly for his intimate domestic interiors, Bonnard took risks and broke rules to create a new way of painting, often using effects of color and light to express ideas of memory and desire. The Denver Art Museum, in collaboration with The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., has brought together more than 100 works by Bonnard, including paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture and photographs drawn from 50 public and private collections.

Special exhibition ticket required; tickets now on sale at the Museum box office and on-line.
