Jean-Édouard Vuillard (France, 1868-1940)

Jean-Édouard Vuillard was a French painter and printmaker associated best-remembered for his affiliation with the Nabis. The son of a retired captain, Vuillard moved with his family to Paris in 1878 where he received a scholarship to continue his education, and later became a member of the studio of the painter Diogène Maillart. In 1887, Vuillard passed the entrance examination for the École des Beaux-Arts, and by 1890 he had joined the Nabis, a group of art students inspired by the synthetism of Gauguin. In his paintings and decorative pieces, Vuillard depicted mostly interiors, streets, and gardens. Marked by a gentle humor, they are executed in the delicate range of soft, blurred colors characteristic of his art. His work has been featured in several important solo exhibitions world-wide, including at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, and at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
