Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) - Lot 117
Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) Bather seated in front of a rock, her right arm folded behind her head Brown patina bronze proof, 21/24 Lost-wax casting No founder's stamp Probably cast by Claude Valsuani Monogrammed and numbered (on back) 14 x 11 x 11 cm A certificate of authenticity from Charles Terrasse dated December 20, 1967 will be given to the purchaser. Provenance : Sweden, Rune Hägg collection By descent Bibliography: Pierre Bonnard, A guide to the paintings, cat. exp. Nottingham Castle Museum & Sargy Mann, 1984, p. 13, repr. Anne Pingeot, Bonnard sculpteur catalog raisonné, Musée d'Orsay, Paris, Nicolas Chaudun, Paris, 2006, p. 94-99. This sculpture was acquired in Sweden by the collector Rune Hägg in 1967, and has remained in his family until now. The history of Bonnard's sculptures and their publication has been retraced by Anne Pingeot in her catalog raisonné Bonnard sculpteur, published in 2006. Pierre Bonnard's sculpture, extremely rare compared to his painting, has the same "impressionist" character as the latter, where vibration dominates everything. The smooth, flowing lines reveal the work of the clay.
