1935, Pierre Bonnard, Two Baskets of Fruit -- Phillips Collection (Washington) (special exhibition)
From the exhibition label: The setting for this ambitious still life is the dining room at Le Bosquet, where the plaster wall and its wainscot, at right, meet the wall of white cupboards, at left. A wicker garden chair with two brightly patterned cushions is in the corner. The source of light in the room is overhead; the baskets cast minimal shadows while the chair creates a deep shadow that seems almost tangible.
