An Impressionist with whom I was not entirely familiar, but whose work is very captivating for me. Thanks for this post. I wish I could visit the exhibit.

HI VANESA AND HELLO BETSY-

Wonderful to hear from you.

The Bonnard show is a surprise and a delight. He is simply not as known as his contemporary painters…think Matisse…so this makes the show a discovery. And, as noted..especially for visitors the Legion of Honor is a superb museum. It overlooks he city and the Bay, and stepping out through the entry columns is dramatic, indeed. I love the interior and the permanent collection.

Betsy--yes, the catalog is very very thorough and colorful. It's an excellent guide to the show--and a reference you will enjoy. I was impressed by the thoroughness and production. Yes, I recommend it.
Thank you for checking.

my best--DIANE

Thank you so much for this post! I had almost forgotten that this exhibition was coming to San Francisco.

Would you please give a little assessment of the catalog...some are simply brilliant and others are disappointing. How would you categorize this one? Thanks for considering my request.

I will be in SF in a few weeks and it's was one of the "many" things I already have planned while I am in town. I have been a longtime fan of Bonnard's work and look forward to the exhibit. Plus the Legion of Honor is just a great place to visit, regardless. And the views are amazing from around the property. Great post...so much good info!
