About the Item
This rare and whimsical 1895 poster by Pierre Bonnard was created as a special supplement to La Revue Blanche, the influential French literary and artistic magazine of the fin-de-siècle. Titled Nib Carnavalesque, this double-sided print is not only a poster but a unique collaboration between Bonnard and writer Romain Coolus, blending poetry and visual art into a humorous and satirical celebration of Parisian carnival culture.
Printed by the renowned Imprimerie Chaix, the piece features Bonnard’s lively, spontaneous linework illustrating fantastical characters, masked faces, and animated parade scenes—all surrounding Coolus’ playful verses “Au bal de l'Opéra” and “Parade.” The composition unfolds like a visual poem, reflecting Bonnard’s early interest in Japanese prints, caricature, and the theatricality of modern life.
This work is catalogued as Bouvet 32 in the artist’s catalogue raisonné and is considered a landmark of Bonnard’s early graphic output. As a member of Les Nabis, Bonnard was central to the transformation of the poster into a modern art form, elevating it beyond advertising into the realm of personal expression and aesthetic innovation.
Delicate, witty, and highly evocative of the Belle Époque spirit, Nib Carnavalesque stands as a testament to the creative interplay of literature and illustration in avant-garde Paris.

Pierre Bonnard
Pierre Bonnard was a French painter, illustrator and printmaker, born in 1867. He is known especially for the stylized decorative qualities of his paintings and his bold use of color. He painted landscapes, urban scenes, portraits and intimate domestic scenes, where the backgrounds, colors and painting style usually took precedence over the subject. He was a founding member of the post-impressionist group of avant garde painters, Les Nabis. He was also a leading figure in the transition from impressionism to modernism.
