Jean-Édouard Vuillard (French: [vɥijaʁ]; 11 November 1868 – 21 June 1940) was a French painter, decorative artist, and printmaker. From 1891 through 1900, Vuillard was a prominent member of the avant garde artistic group Les Nabis, creating paintings that assembled areas of pure color. His interior scenes, influenced by Japanese prints, explored the spatial effects of flattened planes of color, pattern, and form.[1]As a decorative artist, Vuillard painted theater sets, panels for interior decoration, and designed plates and stained glass.
Vuillard was influenced by Paul Gauguin, among other post-impressionist painters.
