Although less well-known than his paintings of bathers, Bonnard's late interiors and still-life paintings are less equally extraordinary. 

Over the course of 24 years of painting the simply furnished, familiar rooms of his house at Le Cannet, Bonnard discovered infinite possibilities, much as Paul Cézanne had discovered in the landscape of Mont Sainte-Victoire.  

[Corner of the Dining Room at Le Cannet], [The White Interior] and [The French Window (Morning at Le Cannet)], all from 1932, feature Bonnard's finest interiors. (excerpt from 2009 Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibit, Pierre Bonnard: The Late Interiors)

[The White Interior] Musée de Grenoble, Grenoble
