  • Place Vintimille (Left Part) - Jean-Édouard Vuillard was a co-founder of the Nabis in 1888, one of the artists grouped around the Revue blanche, he is best known for the interiors and garden scenes generally described as 'intimist', a misleading term which understates the firmness of their design, the strength of their colour harmonies, and his highly individual fusion of the natural forms derived from Impressionism and the decorative patterning he saw in Gauguin and Japanese art.

    Moving between the extremes of minute domestic interiors and monumental, tapestry-like decorative canvases, French artist édouard Vuillard persisted in emphasizing the surface of his paintings with matte multicolored patterns, muted stippling, and flattened space. Born in Cuiseaux, France, Vuillard moved to Paris in 1877, eventually attending the Académie Julian and the école des Beaux-Arts. Over time he met several of the artists who would become, as he did, members of the Nabis (the prophets). This Post-Impressionist group, which challenged current naturalist impulses and the elitism of easel painting, pursued subject matter infused with suggestive Symbolist themes and a style characterized by intense color, synthetic two-dimensional compositions, and reductive forms, often in large-scale decorative works. Vuillard also was dubbed an Intimist—along with Nabis members such as Pierre Bonnard and Ker-Xavier Roussel—because he culled his subject-matter from the intimate world of family life. He habitually depicted his seamstress mother (with whom he lived until her death in 1928) and his sister in claustrophobic images filled with a profusion of patterns: striped dresses, variegated fabrics, and flowered wallpaper.

    During the 1890s, Vuillard frequented the intellectuals, artists, and patrons associated with the avant-garde journal La revue blanche. Following its closure, in 1903, he gained a less radical, if more upper-class, set of friends and patrons. In this period, Vuillard shifted from painting psychologically charged interiors and mural-size outdoor scenes to more schematic bird’s-eye perspectives of Paris. In 1908, he embarked on a series of commissioned decorative panels of Place Vintimille, a typical bourgeois Parisian square that he could see from the window of his apartment. In their architectural, screenlike format, the Place Vintimille (1908–10) panels hearkened back to work Vuillard had done for the theater. They also denoted his ongoing adherence to the decorative aesthetics espoused by the Nabis (which had disbanded in 1899) as well as the formal language of Japanese art, exemplified by the adoption of the screen format, the depiction of asymmetrical views, and the abrupt cropping of forms. Vuillard would continue to paint decorative works for private and public spaces, along with more traditional portraits set in interiors, until the last years of his life.

Edouard VuillardEdouard Vuillard was born in Cuiseaux on November 11, 1868, and lived in Paris as of 1877. He gets to know Ker-Xavier Roussel and Maurice Denis at the Lycée Condorcet, who are his fellow students. He finds his way to painting through Roussel, his later brother in law. Both attend the Académie des Beaux-arts as of 1888, and later the Académie Julian, where they also meet Pierre Bonnard and Félix Vallotton. Together, along with Paul Sérusier, they found the artists group "Nabis" (Hebrew: "The Prophets") in 1890.

Inspired by Japanese color woodcuts and the painting of Paul Gauguin, the artists experiment with a new concept of image space, in doing so they attain a decorative flatness and pattern-like order of what is depicted. The image's colors do not primarily consider the exact reproduction of the object, but follow esthetic aspects.

Edouard Vuillards painting "Au lit" from 1891 is a prime example of the artistic wants of "Nabis". However, his pictures do not entirely follow the "Nabis" symbolism, as they are characterized by a certain decency in form and color.

Among his most important works are portraits and interior pictures. He also creates a great oeuvre of lithographs. His works reflect simple settings and the realities of everyday life in Paris in his days. He finds his subjects right around him, his circle of family and friends.

In 1940 Edouard Vuillard leaves Paris to flee the approaching troops. He dies a little later in La Baule on the Atlantic coast on June 21, 1940.

In 1977 the Seibu Museum of Art in Tokyo sets up an important exhibition. The Lyon Musée des Beaux-Arts shows a retrospective in 1990. His art is also honored in exhibitions in the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 2003 and in 2008-2009 in the Staatliche Kunsthalle in Karlsruhe.
