1940 (ca.), Pierre Bonnard, In the Bathroom (Sketch) -- Phillips Collection (Washington) (special exhibition)
From the exhibition label: After purchasing the villa Le Bosquet in February 1926, the Bonnards carried out extensive renovations, including the creation of a bathroom for Marthe. In the Bathroom shows the result. A large enameled bathtub is in one corner, a sink and a slender radiator in another. French doors are centered on the far wall. On the walls, white-glazed ceramic tiles are capped by a dark blue-green border, which seems to continue into the mirror over the sink. Bonnard depicts the room from below, the view from the bather's vantage point, which becomes our own.
