Description
The work "Paseo de las Nanadas - Friso de Carrujos" by Pierre Bonnard, made in 1896, is a splendid example of its distinctive post -impressionist style that combines the immediate of the urban landscape with the intimacy of everyday life. This painting, which is part of Bonnard's artistic production, stands out for his vivacious color palette and the way he captures a moment of Parisian social life at the end of the 19th century.
The composition of the work is a frieze that extends horizontally, an element that suggests an imperturbable flow of the time in which nannies and carriages are the protagonists of the walk. Bonnard uses a series of fluid lines that give movement and rhythm to the scene, leading the viewer from one end to the other of the work. The arrangement of the characters, mostly babysitters accompanied by several children, reinforces the feeling of a meeting in a space that can be at the same time familiar and community. The presence of carriages, on the other hand, acts as a symbol of mobility and the dynamism of the urban life of that time.
The use of color in "Paseo de las Nanadas" is characteristic of Bonnard; The colors are vibrant and luminous, attract attention and evoke the joy of a sunny day. Bonnard's ability to capture the light that causes reflexes in objects and figures is remarkable, creating a sense of warmth and emotional proximity. Its technique of overlapping paint layers allows a richness of shades that confers depth to the pictorial surface and suggests a world full of light and life.
Although the characters are representative of the middle class of the time, Bonnard avoids idealization. In their representation, attention not only focuses on what children do or children, but also on the surrounding environment, creating a rich social context. This scene captures a moment of everyday life, a moment within a routine whose meaning rises through artistic expression. The amplitude of the figures and the arrangement of the carriages suggests a subtle interaction and a dialogue between the children's and the adult, between the everyday and the extraordinary.
The frieze as a format also refers to classical traditions, while Bonnard infuses him with a contemporary sense that resonates with the modernity of his time. The work is registered at a time when the city of Paris was rapidly transformed, and Bonnard, through its use of color and composition, manages to capture not only the aesthetics of the era, but also its vibrant and dynamic essence.
Together, "Paseo de las Nanadas - Carruajes Frie Light and life. The treatment made by the artist of space, light and the figure resonates with the style of other contemporaries such as Édouard Vuillard and the Nabis, all immersed in the exploration of intimacy and everyday. In this sense, Bonnard not only captures a moment of Parisian life, but also offers a deep reflection on social dynamics and the experience of the individual in modernity.
