André Bénac

Édouard Vuillard painted ‘André Bénac’ in 1936. The medium is oil on fabric, not the more common canvas. Cleveland, Ohio.

Vuillard was known for painting figures in their familiar settings during the 1920s and 1930s. This portrait continues that approach.

Édouard Vuillard participated in the avant garde group Les Nabis in the late 19th century. He transitioned to a more realistic style after 1900.
