1935, Pierre Bonnard, Dining Room on the Garden -- Phillips Collection (Washington) (special exhibition)
From the exhibition label: In this painting nearly every effect of atmospheric light and shadow has been eliminated. Objects--even the footed dishes of fruit and the cylindrical jug and pitcher-- become tinted silhouettes without volume. Colors are applied at maximum intensity, virtually without shading. Only one detail--the reflection of the window frame and blue sky on the far side of the table not covered by a cloth--suggests the effect of natural light streaming in through the window.
