Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) - Le Parc Monceau

Pierre Bonnard (French, 1867–1947), Le Parc Monceau (B. 114), 1937. Etching on laid paper, printed by J. G. Daragnès. The work was published in the book Paris 1937, from an edition of 500 impressions, of which the present work is one. According to Bouvet’s 1981 catalogue raisonné of Bonnard’s prints (no. 114), this etching illustrates Marcel Bedel’s text Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Through delicate yet expressive linework, Bonnard captures the tranquil atmosphere of Paris’s Parc Monceau, evoking the park as a peaceful oasis amid the bustle of the city. As the accompanying text aptly suggests, “Parc Monceau invites us to surrender to the pleasures of life.” Even today, the park remains a welcome retreat from the noise and haste of urban life, offering a place to pause and enjoy a moment of serenity. Image size: 336 × 260 mm. The work is in very good condition, with only faint mat staining and minor handling creases. Framed.

Estimate:$275.58
