Wow, I never heard of this guy, but I really like this. It's so tender. You know that these kinds of things are what really matters to us. Voulnerability, the conflicts surrounding that. These are moments so powerful that they expand us out of ourselves. We all know these paintings are "true".

[@lisengel2498]

I enjoy to look at paintings of Bonnard but for me the essense of his paintings is a very special way of investigating experience through painting and creating visual spheric Music where color but also image making is an intense experiential story of the multidimensionality of life - it is possible to be happy and sad and much more at the same time - he is truly a brillian painter

A wonderful colourist and a tender portrayer of quiet domesticity. Thank you Tate Modern.

Now do the rest of Les Nabis, please. Highly underrated group which explores the beginnings of abstraction and focus on colour.

[@curiousworld7912]

Enrique Casana: I agree - I love Les Nabis. Denis, Vuillard, Ranson, etc.; beautiful, delicate and wonderful uses of color.

The RA had a Vallotton exhibition the other day. Really good artist

I saw this exhibition recently in Fort Worth, Texas. I, and the people I was with, found it very disturbing. The ghostly (and ghastly) person whose presence is never quite realised, lurks darkly on the edges of the pictures, but always near a scene of the outside , gardens etc., a sort of longing for something, somewhere 'other'. The wretched caricatures of the ever present dogs is odd. The posed echoes of Bonnard's childhood memories are also strange. The two pictures of a woman in the bath are perhaps, the most deeply disturbing. In one there is a definite line where the wateris not quite up to her neck, the other hasn't the same definition. Bonnard, we are told, was bullied into marrying his wife because she was jealous of the woman who was the love of his life. She committed suicide two weeks after Bonnard was married. One of our party checked on Google to find out how she died. She drowned herself in a bath. The childhood memories of happiness, the grim , dark figure who lurks on the edges of the works and the two figures in a bath all sent shivers down our spines. The catalogue purple prose did nothing to allay our fears.

I love Bonnard's work. Saw the last exhibition in London twenty years ago. Really looking forward to seeing this. Keep it up Tate!

[@rolisonpaint3]

Thank you, very enjoyable and enLIGHTening.

[@willemvandebeek]

The garden paintings remind me very much of Vincent van Gogh paintings

[@TeresaAfonsoTecas]

On holiday

[@gavinharvey2663]

Thank you for standing in front of the art,I have always loved the back of your heads .Do you have any other videos of the back of you're heads.

[@slaphome8117]

I think back of this man's head more interested than the pictures.

[@Rope-a-dope-v7y]

Lol….”ego trumps content” for sure 😂👍😂

[@hectormarinolopezmolina8418]

tengo un cuadro pintura de bonnard y no se si es original con quien averiguo eso.

[@billnickels6667]

I didn't know picasso had an opinion different from mattise who said many complementary things

[@johndaarteest]

Saw this last Sunday, I liked his interior paintings, his landscapes not so much. Incredible use of colour, and he used NO black that I could see.

[@willylewis1]

Wonderful paintings. A simple voiceover would better show them off. And why place so many pictures in the middle distance?

[@rscottenglish]

The framing of Bonnard's work in this show is unfortunate. Gilded carved frames are wrong for his work but when you see the few that are not framed, Oh see how his work sings!

[@andreabammybartlet8754]

Too much talking not enough more lengthy moments on the paintings, in my humble opinion...but thankyou Tate I love your You Tube shorties.

[@waltergucher7850]

beautiful people sitting in front of beautiful pictures__That`s not enough for me

[@pietlebrun5943]

2:20 Man these paintings need frames so badly, come on curators.

[@pstotto]

Lowry sketched and invented his pictures. Too much emphasis on using the word 'memory' as the source of invention and conceit, it's force feeding the viewer with Tate Modern presumption. It's THE MOST over-rated buzzword of art theory, stemming from an overbearing influence of philosophers on the art of making pictures in these times. Anyone but the artist the expert on art for a curated culture fascism nanny state thought police, the music to this video is offensive like 'Tate Shots' tunes and the show is overdosed by a chocolate box presentation, the galleries in various sumptuous colour for the female audience. I couldn't get through the video I had to write this and I had exit the show for real for the same reason. Having said that, great pictures, worth a visit, thanks Tate Modern for putting on the show and for making the video, at least it;s a conversation point.

[@johncoppola8105]

I could not agree more with your critical look at contemporary curating with its tedious overwrought intellectualism and conceptualists .

[@mattguerra833]

Yeah, this channel is pretentious

[@PolarBear-rc4ks]

What do you mean by "the female audience"?
