On a day like today, French painter Pierre Bonnard was born

December 03, 1867. Pierre Bonnard (3 October 1867 - 23 January 1947) was a French painter and printmaker, as well as a founding member of the Post-Impressionist group of avant-garde painters Les Nabis. Bonnard preferred to work from memory, using drawings as a reference, and his paintings are often characterized by a dreamlike quality. The intimate domestic scenes, for which he is perhaps best known, often include his wife Marthe de Meligny. In this image: Pierre Bonnard, "Dancers," 1896. Oil on cardboard. 28 x 36 cm.
