Rotary Melbourne @ NGV Melbourne Winter Masterpieces Pierre Bonnard by India Mahdavi
Pierre Bonnard is one of the most beloved painters of the twentieth century, celebrated for his use of colour to convey an exquisite sense of emotion. His close friend Henri Matisse declared that Bonnard was ‘a great painter, for today and definitely also for the future’. Opening in June 2023, the blockbuster Melbourne Winter Masterpieces® exhibition Pierre Bonnard presents the iridescent paintings of Bonnard within immersive scenography by Paris-based designer India Mahdavi.
On Friday 6 October 2023, from 6 pm, Rotary Melbourne Arts Committee has booked a speaker for a special RM evening meeting at the National Gallery of Victoria, St Kilda Road. This is for people who have already seen the Bonnard exhibition as well as those who want to go before the exhibition closes on 8 October.
