The Open Window by Pierre Bonnard — Art Postcard

The Open Window lets a whole garden pour into the room at once: a tall window stands open onto a sky of clear blue and foliage lit almost too green to be real, a dark blind rolled up above to let in every bit of the light. Inside, warm orange-gold walls and a striped rail hold the glow, while a small black cat rests near the floor and a modest vase of flowers sits at the window's edge, both easy to miss beside so much sun. It is one of Bonnard's most luminous interiors, the boundary between inside and out almost dissolved by colour. Nothing is subdued here; everything answers the light. A radiant, high-colour card from the Pierre Bonnard collection, ideal as a bright summer greeting or a gift for a lover of colour.
