1888 -1900 · Flat, decor and daily life
Bonnard, Vuillard, Denis, Sérusier and Vallotton adapt Japanese prints to a flat, rhythmic and resolutely decorative painting.
At the end of the 1880s, young Nabis artists discovered Japanese prints distributed by merchants and major exhibitions in Paris. Pierre Bonnard, soon nicknamed the "very Japanese Nabi", retains the cut-out silhouettes, the flat areas and the vertical compositions. Édouard Vuillard observes the unexpected points of view and the repeated motifs which blend figures, wallpapers and fabrics into the same surface. Maurice Denis, Paul Sérusier and Félix Vallotton share this refusal of naturalist illusion, each on a personal path. Japanese influence joins their ambition to bring painting and decorative arts together: screens, panels, posters, prints and illustrations become as important as the easel painting. Gardens, interiors and familiar scenes are thus recomposed into rhythms of lines and colors. The "Japonisme chez les Nabis" selection notably compares Les Laveuses à la Laïta and L’Assassination. His reading favors details.
For the Nabis, Japanese printmaking confirms that an image can be deep in its rhythm while remaining deliberately flat.
