Nude in Bathtub (and a dachshund)


This is one of my fav paintings (and it's at the Carnegie Museum of Art here in Pittsburgh!). It's Pierre Bonnard's Nude in Bathtub. It's of his wife Marthe, who was the subject of most of his paintings (and never aged in them!), but I'm sure I don't have to point out the other aspect of this painting- the doxie by the tub! I just love the delicacy & boldness of color in Bonnard's work... don't you?

I love it! Bright colors yet a very soothing effect -- and of course the doxie is priceless :)
