Excerpted from the volume (translated from French), This book, composed entirely by Pierre Bonnard, contains letters of youth, specially illustrated by the artist of drawings with pen and pencil. It was printed: A thousand copies on Velin d'Arches made especially for the book numbered from 1 to 1,000 the first thirty-five copies with a suite on China and twenty-five non-commercial copies numbered from I to XXV. PIERRE BONNARD (1867-1947) was a French painter, illustrator and printmaker, known especially for the stylized decorative qualities of his paintings and his bold use of color. A founding member of the Post-Impressionist group of avant-garde painters Les Nabis, his early work was strongly influenced by the work of Paul Gauguin, as well as the prints of Hokusai and other Japanese artists. Bonnard was a leading figure in the transition from Impressionism to Modernism. He painted landscapes, urban scenes, portraits and intimate domestic scenes, where the backgrounds, colors and painting style usually took precedence over the subject. A friend and inspiration to Matisse and a rival to Picasso, Bonnard ranks amongst the top tier of artists of the twentieth century.
