- Biography
- Edouard Vuillard was a French painter and printmaker born in Cuiseaux, France in 1868. He studied at the Académie Julian in Paris and was a member of the Nabis, a group of artists who sought to create art that was more personal and expressive than the academic art of the time. Vuillard's early work was influenced by the Post-Impressionists, but he later developed his own style, characterized by flattened forms, decorative patterns, and a muted color palette. He is best known for his intimate interior scenes, often featuring his family and friends, which he painted with a sense of intimacy and warmth. Vuillard was also a prolific printmaker, producing lithographs and etchings throughout his career. He died in La Baule, France in 1940. Today, his work can be found in major museums around the world, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
