Typefaces: Comic Sans MS: for title and big time & Arial for text and small time Design Process: I started with drawing the sketch of timelines layout. First I came up with a horizontal timeline with works in circle attached to it, but I thought it was too static and then I changed to this diagnal to indicate a more dynamic movement and to better express the concept of time ow. For the circle choosing, I believe it better represent the spirit of post-Impressionist and will balance my timeline composition. Also I chosed a relative colorful platte to match with the beautiful colors in Bonnards paintings.

Bonnard was born in Fontenay-aux-Roses, Hauts-de-Seineon 3 October 1867. During the 1890s Bonnard became one of the leading members of the Nabis In 1891 he met Toulouse-Lautrec and began showing his work at the annual exhibition of the Socit des Artistes Indpendants. His rst show was at the Galerie Durand-Ruel in 1896. He left Paris in 1910 for the south of France. Shortly after 1900, Bonnard redirected his style of painting to more closely follow the Impressionist tradition, modi ed by his innate sense of decoration and design. In 1921, Bonnard and Marthe were married In the late 1920s he painted nudes that re ect a new concern for structure without losing their strong colour values. Bonnard lived into his eightieth year, spending time increasingly at Le Bosquet, his small house in Le Cannet overlooking the Mediterranean. The downstairs dining room and the upstairs sitting room provide the constructs for some of his nest interiors and still lifes, such as Corner of the Dining Room at Le Cannet (1932; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris),In Bonnard's late interiors, we discover a universe of familiar rooms, objects, and models. Bonnard explicitly admitted that he could only paint the familiar. He nished his last painting, The Almond Tree in Blossom, a week before his death in his cottage on La Route de Serra Capeou near Le Cannet References: [1] Amory, Dita.
