Pierre Bonnard

The Late Still Lifes and Interiors

By: Pierre Bonnard,Nicole R. Myers,Allison Stielau,Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.)

The vibrant late paintings of Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) are considered by many to be among his finest achievements. Working in a small converted bedroom of his villa in the south of France, Bonnard suffused his late canvases with radiant Mediterranean light and dazzling color. Although his subjects were close at hand-usually everyday scenes taken from his immediate surroundings, such as the dining room table being set for breakfast, or a jug of flowers perched on the mantelpiece - Bonnard rarely painted from life. Instead, he preferred to make pencil sketches in small diaries and then rely on these, along with his memory, once in the studio." "This volume, which accompanies the first exhibition to focus on the interior and related still-life imagery from the last decades of Bonnard's long career, presents more than seventy-five paintings, drawings, and works on paper, many of them rarely seen in public and in some cases, little known. Although Bonnard's legacy may be removed from the succession of trends that today we consider the foundation of modernism, his contribution to French art in the early decades of the twentieth century is far more profound than history has generally acknowledged. In their insightful essays and catalogue entries the authors bring fresh critical perspectives to the ongoing reappraisal of Bonnard's reputation and to his place within the narrative of twentieth-century art."--Jacket

The Texas CEO's Secret

By: Nicole Foster

Katerina Whitcomb-Salgar's life was all mapped out, and arrogant, buttoned-up billionaire Blake McCord was definitely not on the Dallas socialite's dance card. Until one moonlit kiss changed everything. Falling for his brother's ex-fianc e was strictly taboo. Not to mention Blake couldn't afford any distractions as the hunt for the Santa Magdelena Diamond was heating up, and the survival of his family's jewelry store empire was on the line. But if there was anyone who could get him to forsake business for pleasure, it was Katie. And jetting off to the Mediterranean was just the beginning....
