About the artist
Édouard Vuillard (1868–1940) was a French artist known for his paintings, drawings, designs, and lithographs. As a member of the Nabis in the 1890s, he depicted intimate interiors and scenes from Montmartre, using a unique style influenced by Gauguin and Puvis de Chavannes. Vuillard also created posters and theatrical sets. Later, he embraced a more naturalistic approach, coining the Intimisme movement with Bonnard. He captured candid moments of friends and family using a camera. Vuillard's subjects often included women and children, and he also painted landscapes and portraits. He led a modest life, living with his mother until her passing in 1928.
