He was a founding member for the post-impressionist avant-garde movement and a group called Les Nabis. He was heavily influenced by painters such as Paul Gauguin. Bonnard was an artist that helped transition the dominant art style of the period from impressionism to modernism.<\/p>\n<p>Although he studied to become a lawyer, art was his only real passion and Bonnard devoted himself to creating new and innovative techniques for it. He painted a variety of subjects, including landscapes, urban settings, and portraits. His pieces were known for shifting compositional dominance to the background and color scheme. He managed to continue his career as a painter through both world wars and was still working on a piece up to his death in 1947. During his lifetime he avoided the spotlight, but after his death he was greatly honored by some of the biggest names in the art world for his creativity and dedication to the art form.<\/p>\n<p>You can see his imaginative use of color in the landscapes he created such as <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/painting\/coin-de-jardin-fleuri&amp;option_id=16551&amp;bc=791_1691\">Coin de Jardin Fleuri<\/a><\/em> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/painting\/the-garden-in-the-shade&amp;option_id=16555&amp;bc=791_1691\"><em>The Garden in the Shade<\/em>.<\/a> There is the unique stylized way he captured people in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/painting\/self-portrait-bonnard&amp;option_id=16597&amp;bc=791_1691\"><em>Self Portrait<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/painting\/place-clichy-two-elegant-women&amp;option_id=16552&amp;bc=791_1691\"><em>Place Clichy<\/em> (Two Elegant Women)<\/a>.
