Signature and opening of Joann Sfar – “I call him Mr Bonnard”

On the occasion of the exhibition”Pierre Bonnard. Painting the Arcadia” at the Musée d’Orsay Joann Sfar immersed himself in the painter’s universe and gave rise to an imaginary conversation between Bonnard’s famous female models. These naked women, lonely muses, get bored waiting for the painter who does not come and begin a monologue imagined by the draftsman / filmmaker. The occasion of an intimate encounter between Joann Sfar, Bonnard’s work, and these women.

The result of this adventure in 61 drawings and 65 paintings,”Je l’appelle monsieur Bonnard”, is published by Hazan and is the subject of a public exhibition at Artcurial, which will end on April 24. Review of the master’s signature, in the heart of the auction house.
