Pierre Bonnard
Landscape at Le Cannet, c. 1930
Atelier stamped
Watercolour and pencil
13 x 10 inches
Provenance
The Artist's Estate; by descent
Note: In 1926 Bonnard bought a modest looking house on avenue Victoria, which he christened "Le Bosquet". Bonnard was by then very well known and had the means to buy a much larger and more comfortable house, with an easier access. But it was the quiet tranquillity of the site that captivated him, as well as the view over the Cannes bay and the Esterel massif. He transformed all the house's openings so that nature would be visible from any one point inside the house.
