Introduction
Even though the 'Painter of Happiness’ by Pierre Bonnard had been postponed for three years, it finally secured airtime at the NGV. One of the reasons is that Bonnard was among the most beloved painters of the 20th century. Since its opening on June 9, this exhibition has had many works designed by award-winning designer India Mahdavi. One of the unique features Bonnard had was that he opted to work from memory, making him one of the most beloved French painters. Most people were revering to him for his iridescent palette, which uses color to show fleeting moods, emotions, and moments. Most of Bonnard’s paintings show intimate domestic interiors in addition to the natural landscapes with subtle and sensual color and light use. His paintings were curated by Paris’s Musée d’Orsay in collaboration with the NGV, making this world-premiere exhibition bring back 19th and 20th century France to Melbourne, having paintings, decorative objects, and photographs. Referred to as the "processor of perfect chromatic pitch" and "virtuoso of color" by the New Yorker, India Mahdavi, a Paris-based architect, has created an exhibition scenography that envelops Bonnard's different works in an environment which is complementing his use of color and texture. The following work is outstanding, evident by the number of individuals it has attracted around the globe.[P.

Theater of Everyday
In this picture, Pierre Bonnard had an outstanding painting that describes the life that he experienced during his early years. The following image mainly has dark colors like black, brown, and grey. For instance, after he finished school in Paris, he studied art. He started his studies at the Académie Julian in 1887. Two years later, he moved to École des Beaux-Arts. This same year, he rented a studio in the Batignolles. This was a working-class district that was based in northeastern Paris. This was a huge achievement since, this time, he stopped straying very far and moved into other apartments and studios in Montmartre for the next years.[V.

Furthermore, this painting represents Bonnard's urban Paris experience during the 1890s, affecting his daily walks where he was observing what he was referring to as the 'theatre of the everyday.'
