BONNARD Pierre (1867-1947)

Nicknamed the 'Nabi japonard', he was one of the main actors of the pictural movements and soon became an avant-garde painter. Refusing to be stuck under a single category of a painter, he also interested himself in sculpture and produced a few animal sculptures in a manner close to Rodin's, in 1900. Woman is also a theme he worked on, with sometimes impressionnist influencies.
