1946, Pierre Bonnard, Studio with Mimosa, Le Cannet -- Phillips Collection (Washington) (special exhibition)
From the exhibition label: The window between the world inside and the world outside was a subject Bonnard turned to frequently and with mastery, exploring its literal and metaphorical dimensions. Studio with Mimosa is one of his greatest paintings of the theme, showing mimosa trees in bloom outside his studio at Le Bosquet. The enormous window almost fills the canvas; a band of pink at left represents the wall where Bonnard tacked his canvases to paint. Begun around 1939, the painting was only finished in the last months of the artist's life.
