Art is at the rendezvous no. 18 - A look at a work by Edouard Vuillard
Circa 1919-1920, Pastel and graphite on paper, 20 x 11 cm, Monogram stamp at the bottom right
An excuse to frame the landscape like a painting while maintaining the feeling of intimacy of a cozy place where the observer is, the window is a favorite subject for Vuillard.
Dominating the luxuriant decor in which the silhouette of his mother embroidering in the foreground is drowned, a very luminous pastel sky seems to emerge from the golden frame constituted by the uniform yellow hue of the interior walls.
Windows are a favorite subject of Vuillard. They offer a pretext to frame a landscape, like a painting, maintaining the sense of intimacy of a cozy place where the viewer finds himself.
