Label Text

An elegant Parisian woman trailed by children and a dog is rendered in blocks of subtle colour and cast adrift in space. The fascination with flat pattern is typical of Bonnard and his fellow Nabis (‘prophets’), a group of avant-garde artists active in Paris in the 1890s. This unusually elongated print was originally part of a panel of a folding screen. Bonnard had a strong affinity with Japanese art and produced a number of Japanese-influenced screens. The Nannies’ Promenade was the only one to be composed of prints rather than painted panels.
