1928, Pierre Bonnard, Landscape at Le Cannet -- Phillips Collection (Washington) (special exhibition)
From the exhibition label: The panoramic view of the landscape shown here, with the village below and mountains in the distance, is the one that Bonnard saw from a vantage point just above his house Le Bosquet (The Grove), perched above the hills in the seaside resort town of Cannes. Bonnard had purchased the home two years earlier. At right is Bonnard himself who blends in with the surroundings as if to suggest the close ties he felt with the natural world.
