1904, Pierre Bonnard, The Outer Boulevard -- Phillips Collection (Washington) (special exhibition)
From the exhibition label: By day, and when the trees are leafless, the view Bonnard had painted at night (on view nearby) is transformed. Here the artist frames a bird's eye view of the lively activity outside his home on the corner of Boulevard de Clichy and Rue de Douai. Bonnard evokes a sense of movement in his dynamic asymmetrical composition accented with touches of vibrant color throughout. He captures many modes of transport: a horse-drawn omnibus at lower right, a bright white pushcart, a cyclist, a buggy with a prancing white horse, a horse-drawn cab at far left, and an automobile on the boulevard.
