1927, Pierre Bonnard, The French Window with a Dog -- Phillips Collection (Washington) (special exhibition)
From the exhibition label: This painting shows the upstairs sitting room at Le Bosquet and its large window. In this painting, we spy the red tile rooftops of nearby houses through the branches of the palm tree. Their zig-zagging forms are confined within a rectangle at the upper center of the composition, one of several geometric shapes made from the door frames, their mullioned windows, the outside balcony, and its balusters--a calculated geometrical arrangement.
