The False Step by Pierre Bonnard Canvas Print

Seen beside oak, the stooping figure loses nostalgia and gains grit. The mossy green ground stops feeling decorative and starts behaving like wallpaper colour you’d actually paint with soft, slightly damp, alive. Hang it in a hallway, study or the quiet corner of a bedroom where you walk past it daily; it rewards close looking more than wide rooms. Pair with linen, oiled oak, woven rush and a single piece of brass. What it does not want is a high-gloss, high-contrast neighbour keep the surrounding wall calm and let the inky teal of the dress do the heavy lifting. Wrapped on canvas, the brushwork reads with a slightly softer, more painterly surface.
