Pierre Bonnard was a French painter who worked mainly from his memory, using drawing and photography as a preliminary tool for painted works. He would record what it was that interested him, making notes on the observation of color and later start the painting in his studio.

 "I have all my subjects to hand, I go back and look at them. I take notes. Then I go home. And before I start painting I reflect, I dream.” - Pierre Bonnard 

Identified as a late practitioner of Impressionism, Bonnard has since been recognized for his unique, intuitive use of color. With paintings such as Dinning Room On The Garden 1934-35, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, Bonnard explodes with his charged use of bold yellows, ochres, blues and violets melding together a domestic interior, forms merging with one another creating an overall image of vibrant planes and shapes.
