Décor à Vernon

1939
Not on view
En 1912, Pierre Bonnard achète une maison à Vernonnet, près de Vernon, qui devient le sujet de ses tableaux jusqu’en 1939. Cette grande toile tardive aux couleurs vives représente un coin ombragé de la terrasse surélevée, de forme irrégulière, qui entourait la maison. Curieusement, l’artiste a relégué les trois femmes à l’arrière d’un gros tronc d’arbre. Une rampe indique la position des marches qui mènent au vaste jardin en contrebas. La terrasse est comme une scène dont le jardin serait le rideau de fond.
