Éduoard Vuillard: The Poetry of Everyday

During the 1890s and early 1900s Édouard Vuillard (1868-1940) produced a body of work that combines intimate subject matter with abstract form through the simplification of pictorial elements and observation of decorative fabrics and wallpapers. In balancing form and content, psychological drama and abstraction, his pictures are about as close to poetry as any artist’s, and all the more brilliant for their understatement and the near imperceptibility of their craft. Illustrating many rarely seen paintings from private collections, this book offers a fresh look at the early career of this much-loved artist. Paperback 80 pages ISBN: 9781843682493 138 x 138mm
