Bonnard – konst och kärlek (DVD)

ABOUT THE ARTIST COUPLE PIERRE AND MARTHE BONNARD AND THE DIFFICULT ART OF LOVE

The film about the life of the artist couple Pierre and Marthe Bonnard, BONNARD – ART AND LOVE, premieres in Swedish cinemas on February 28 in conjunction with the opening of the exhibition BONNARD AND THE NORDIC COUNTRIES at the National Museum.

When artist Pierre Bonnard, in his search for a new model, encounters Marthe, passion ignites at their very first meeting. That initial strong attraction grows into a love that lasts for decades. Through ups and downs, despite excruciating jealousy and other crises, Pierre and Marthe stay together. Of all the artist's paintings, more than two-thirds are portraits of Marthe. A story of great art and the sky-high love that was its source.Director Martin Provost has previously made other art-loving films, such as the multiple César Award-winning Séraphine (2008), about the artist Séraphine de Senlis. He also portrayed the author Violette Leduc in Violette (2014). In the colorful Bonnard – Art and Love, we follow the two main characters from the moment they meet, with flashbacks to 1914, 1918, and 1942. Cécile de France and Vincent Macaigne are brilliant in their roles as the passionate artist couple. DN
