Les maîtres de la peinture moderne

Pierre Bonnard

Born in Fontenay-aux-Roses in 1867, Pierre Bonnard was one of the nabi movement's artists. An intimist painter of interiors or nudes, using light and cheerful colours, his work is complex, heavily nuanced and almost timeless.

Amedeo Modigliani

Amedeo Modigliani was born in Italy in 1884. He arrived in Paris in 1906 and became friends with Picasso and Cocteau. His work, which is extremely sensitive and personal, lies outside the established painting movements, making him a standalone artist in the history of modern art.

Edgar Degas

Edgar Degas, born in 1834 in Paris, is an artist belonging to the Impressionist movement. A painter of bodies in movement, his interest in portraits came from conveying the mental characteristics of the characters. This avant-gardist was a master portrait painter influenced by modernity and an admirer of urban life.
