More quotes by Pierre Bonnard
It is still color, it is not yet light.
Pierre Bonnard
Imagination is merely the exploitation of our memory.
Pierre Bonnard
Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.
Pierre Bonnard
What I am after is the first impression - I want to show all one sees on first entering the room - what my eye takes in at first glance.
Pierre Bonnard
The artist who paints the emotions creates an enclosed world... the picture... which, like a book, has the same interest no matter where it happens to be. Such an artist, we may imagine, spends a great deal of time doing nothing but looking, both around him and inside him.
Pierre Bonnard
One does not always sing out of happiness.
Pierre Bonnard
Painting has to get back to its original goal, examining the inner lives of human beings.
Pierre Bonnard
The painter's only solid ground is the palette and colors, but as soon as the colors achieve an illusion, they are no longer judged.
Pierre Bonnard
I am just beginning to understand what it is to paint. A painter should have two lives, one in which to learn, and one in which to practice his art.
Pierre Bonnard
The important thing is to remember what most impressed you and to put it on canvas as fast as possible.
Pierre Bonnard
How many days have I spent alone with my cat... and when I say alone, I mean without a material being, for my cat is a mystical companion, a spirit.
Pierre Bonnard
Art will never be able to exist without nature.
Pierre Bonnard
A painting that is well composed is half finished.
Pierre Bonnard
You reason colour more than you reason drawing Colour has a logic as severe as form.
Pierre Bonnard
Speaking, when you have something to say, is like looking. But who looks? If people could see properly, and see whole, they would all be painters. And it's because people have no idea how to look that they hardly ever understand.
Pierre Bonnard
The expression on my face - who on earth would be interested in that? All that I have to say is to be found in my works. (On being photographed)
Pierre Bonnard
It's not a matter of painting life, it's a matter of giving life to painting.
Pierre Bonnard
