Did You Know?

In 1897, Vuillard purchased a Kodak Brownie that allowed him to take intimate snapshots of family and friends as well as create reference photographs for his paintings and prints.

Description

Vuillard’s subject of Parisians enjoying refreshments out-of-doors is echoed in his friend Bonnard’s Café Terrace, on view nearby. Both artists treat public settings with the same enveloping closeness of their interiors.
A vertically oriented color lithograph depicts a crowded cafe scene. On the left, a red and white striped facade displays the partial word "TISSERIE." A large striped awning angles across the upper right. Loosely rendered figures gather at green tables, one person wearing a bright red garment and another a blue and white patterned shirt. In the bottom left foreground, a table holds a white bottle and a yellow container.
