Jean-Édouard
Vuillard was a French painter, decorative artist and printmaker. From 1891
through 1900, he was a prominent member of the Nabis, making paintings which
assembled areas of pure color, and interior scenes, influenced by Japanese
prints, where the subjects were blended into colors and patterns. He also was a
decorative artist, painting theater sets, panels for interior decoration, and
designing plates and stained glass. After 1900, when the Nabis broke up, he
adopted a more realistic style, painting landscapes and interiors with lavish
detail and vivid colors. In the 1920s and 1930s he painted portraits of
prominent figures in French industry and the arts in their familiar settings. Between
1930 and 1935 he divided his time between Paris and the Chateau de Clayes,
owned by his friend Hessel. He did not receive any official recognition from
the French state until July 1936, when he was commissioned to make a mural, La
Comédie, depicting his impressions of the history of Paris theater world for
the foyer of the new Théâtre national de Chaillot, built for the 1937 Paris
International Exposition. In August of the same year, the City of Paris bought
four of paintings, Anabatistes, and a collection of sketches. In 1937 he
received another major commission, along with Maurice Denis and Roussel, for a
monumental mural at the Palace of the League of Nations in Geneva.
