I'm trying to do what I have ...

I'm trying to do what I have never done - give the impression one has on entering a room: one sees everything and at the same time nothing.

Pierre Bonnard 38 quotes

What attracted me was less ar...

What attracted me was less art itself than the artist’s life and all that it meant for me: the idea of creativity and freedom of expression and action. I had been attracted to painting and drawing for a long time, but it was not an irresistible passion; what I wanted, at all costs, was to escape the monotony of life.

Pierre Bonnard 38 quotes

The artist who paints the emo...

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.

And after drawing comes composition. A well-composed painting is half done

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.

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.

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 38 quotes

Speaking, when you have somet...

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 38 quotes

What I am after is the first ...

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 38 quotes

Draw your pleasure, paint you...

Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.

Pierre Bonnard 38 quotes

You reason color more than yo...

You reason color more than you reason drawing... Color has a logic as severe as form.

A painting that is well composed is half finished.

One always talks of surrendering to nature. There is also such a thing as surrendering to the picture.

I should like to present myself to the young painters of the year 2000 with the wings of a butterfly.

Imagination is merely the exploitation of our memory.
