About the work
Bonnard was sometimes called the Nabi Japonard, or Japanese Nabi, because he used the asymmetrical composition,elevated viewpoint, and bold colors of japanese prints in his own work. Like Vuillard, Bonnard used children and his own family as favorite models for his early interiors. Attention here centers on the lamp, an example of Bonnard's symbolist interest in the secret life of ordinary objects. As in Japanese composition, Bonnard constructs the space from several points of view, so that we seem to enter the picture from the position of the object.
