Pierre Bonnard: Born: October 3, 1867, Fontenay-aux-Roses, France. The son of a prominent official of the French Ministry of War.

Attended the Académie Julian.

In 1888, he entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.

In 1889, he joined the group of young painters called "Nabis".

In 1891, he showed at the Salon des Indépendants.

In 1896, he had his first solo show, at the "Galerie Durand-Ruel".

Bonnard is known for his intense use of color, especially via areas built with small brushmarks and close values. His often complex compositions typically of sunlit interiors of rooms and gardens populated with friends and family members—are both narrative and autobiographical.
