Rethinking Bonnard, Rethinking Painting After Impressionism - Dr. Lucy Whelan

Pierre Bonnard (1867–1947) is frequently seen as a transitional figure between Impressionism and twentieth-century modernism: he was described as a belated Impressionist during his lifetime, and even recent interpretations of his work implicitly treat him in the same way. This talk will reconsider how Bonnard should be understood in relation to Impressionism, while also reconnecting the artist's later work to his interests in the 1890s. It is based on my forthcoming book, Pierre Bonnard Beyond Vision. This talk will be followed by an informal Q&A, where I'll be happy to discuss any aspect of the book itself or the process of PhD to book.

Dr. Lucy Whelan is the Graham Robertson Research Fellow at Downing College. Before coming to Cambridge, she held a two-year Hanseatic Scholarship from the Alfred Toepfer Foundation at the Humboldt University in Berlin. She completed her doctorate at the University of Oxford in 2018.
