So lovely, so beautiful. I really appreciated hearing this so much, I listened to it again. What a joy to hear this perspective and learn so much. Well done.

Wow Bonnard paintings look so sensuous and beautiful next to the flat hard treatment of Matisse ,Bonnard stroked the canvas and made his paintings take on an unearthly beauty .

I am a painter and over time a great admirer of Bonnard. Julian Bell's lecture has presented a wonderful view of the ideas and paintings of a great master. Thank you Julian Bell!

.. Bonnard was the artist to carry a brighter torch forward through the viscousness of Picasso's cubism, and Bonnard's torch was the one that lit and illuminated the likes of Diebenkorn AND Rothko AND Park.

An excellent lecture..very insightful..thank you.

I don't need anyone to tell me that Bonnard's work is great, or why. I look at it, and follow my feelings

It would be nice to repost this valuable lecture with higher resolution images.

Super!

Even more nervous than a chipmunk

Could someone tell me what the connotation for "The Dining Room on the Garden" is if there is one thank you very much

Just a difficult speaker to listen to... hesitant...studied... distracted by his own notes...

And adverbs ... and adverbs ... stutters...I read the transcript.

what a belaboured misguided eulogy . towards the end the speaker seems to start choking in his verbosity . bonnard , the eloquent painter who paved the way to rothko and many others gets buried in weak attempts at justification.

Sorry but I just dont get Julian Bell. It is somewhat humorous to listen to these over educated critics over analyze paintings. Lets take a moment of silence for the poor paintings forced to hang in museums and endure the endless mental gymnastics of the art elites. How they must suffer listening to this....

Blurry reproductions insult the artist.
