Berry-Hill Galleries in association with Galerie Bellier, Paris is presenting an important exhibition of Édouard Vuillard (1868-1940), the famous 19th century French post-impressionist painter. The Berry-Hill exhibition will coincide with the major Vuillard retrospective that opens at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., in January 2003, and then travels to Montreal, London and Paris.
The Berry-Hill exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue that includes an interview with Guy Cogeval, Director of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and noted Vuillard authority who has recently completed the Catalogue Raisonné and the organization of the retrospective. In addition, the catalogue includes an essay by Elizabeth Wynne Easton, Curator of European Painting at The Brooklyn Museum of Art and author of The Intimate Interiors of Édouard Vuillard.
Édouard Vuillard consists of approximately 60 works, including paintings, pastels and drawings spanning the artist's entire career and representing the full range of his subject matter, from his earliest academic studies of the late 1880's to his classic work of the 1920's. In the 1890's Vuillard was one of the founding members of the Nabis, whose style is characterized by multiple patterns, flat pure color, and depictions of intimate settings. By the next decade, and for the rest of his career, Vuillard's focus is on the complex compositions that frequently feature several figures artfully arrangedfor example, the masterful interior Madame Juliette Weil et ses enfants (1922-23), that will be shown in conjunction with a series of preparatory drawings. From about the same period is the outdoor scene, Le Square Vintimille (1919), a view from the artist's studio.
