[From back cover] Pierre Bonnard aimait les enfants, les chiens et les chats. Il aimait la lumiere du Sud mais aussi celle du Nord, et la peinture par-dessus tout. Pierre Bonnard etait un tres grand peintre qui vivait dans un petit monde ou la couleur n'a pas de limites. Voici son portrait en 26 mots, de A a Z. Un portrait a la maniere de ses tableaux, tendre et leger, par petites touches.
