Edouard Vuillard

Jean Edouard Vuillard studied in Paris at the Academie Julien alongside Pierre Bonnard. As a result of their admiration of Serusier and Gauguin?s color theories, the pair formed the Nabis in 1889. His early works were small-scale prints, primarily color lithographs of Parisian life. His mother, with whom he lived with until her death, was a dressmaker, which inspired Vuillard's interests in textiles and patterns. He began to paint intimate interior scenes, incorporating these decorative aspects into his work. Another hobby of Vuillard's was photography, which he used to study the innate movements of his friends and family in their everyday life. He gained more recognition after 1900 and was commissioned as a portrait artist.
