The artwork titled “Pitcher” was created by Pierre Bonnard around the year 1931. An exemplar of the Post-Impressionism movement, this still life piece is housed in a private collection.
In this artwork, Bonnard uses a vibrant palette to depict a simple yet evocative scene. At the center, a rustic pitcher adorned with flowers takes prominence. The flowers vary in colors, with hints of reds, dark hues, and foliage. The background is rendered in soft tones of yellow, suggesting an interior space flooded with light. To the left, an indistinct, counter-like surface bears another vessel, adding depth to the composition. The overall use of color and brushwork exemplifies Bonnard’s mastery in capturing the essence of a moment, inviting the viewer to appreciate the poignancy found in everyday objects.
