"Bonnard had one-man shows in Paris from 1904 on and was included in many shows of French art put on outside France. In 1924 there was a large retrospective exhibition in Paris. In 1928 he had a one-man show in New York, and from that time on his work was known and admired on both sides of the Atlantic. There were major memorial exhibitions in 1947-48. By this time he had fallen out of art world favour: his subjects and resplendent colours seemed luxurious to the post-war world. Matisse defended his friend's work and Bonnard is now recognized as a great colourist and a constructor of subtle compositions in which meaning is delivered through apparently transparent, ordinary subjects."
