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

Pierre Bonnard 38 quotes

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 38 quotes

Art will never be able to exist without nature.

Pierre Bonnard 38 quotes

What attracted me was less art...

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.

Work on the accent, it will enliven the whole.

It is still color, it is not yet light.

Pierre Bonnard 38 quotes

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 38 quotes

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 38 quotes

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

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

The principal subject is the surface, which has its color, its laws over and above those of object.

Pierre Bonnard 38 quotes

It's not a matter of painting life, it's a matter of giving life to painting.

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