1922, Pierre Bonnard, Woman with Dog -- Phillips Collection (Washington)
From the exhibition label: Woman with Dog was the first of over 20 works acquired by museum founder Duncan Phillips, who became one of the artist's foremost champions in the United States. In his tender portrayal, Bonnard shows the affectionate bond between Marthe and the dog cradled in her lap. The figure of Marthe is rendered in warm hues, her striped dress--one she is often seen wearing in paintings--a brilliant scarlet red, her hair rich orange-brown with accents of deep magenta. To her left Bonnard includes a stripe of black laid over violet, suggesting an open door.
