This review is from: Bonnard: Shimmering Color (Paperback)

This is a small book, limited in the scope of its scholarship and illustrations. The paintings chosen for the latter are pretty much standard to all books on the painter. In my opinion, there are much better works on Bonnard for those seriously interested in his work and life.
