Its NEW mission is to make its way back home to the McMaster Museum of Art in Hamilton, Ontario Canada.

About This Item

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was a French painter and printmaker. He is known for his intense use of colour and complex compositions. Bonnard did not paint from life and would first draw or photograph his subject. His compositions usually include sunlit interiors of rooms and gardens.
 
 The vitality and bustle of a city was the theme which attracted Bonnard most. He is also remembered as one of the founding members of Les Nabis – a group of Post-Impressionist artists who set the scale for fine arts and graphic arts in France during the 1980s.
 
The McMaster Museum of Art in Hamilton, Ontario owns seven prints from Bonnard’s illustration of the play Simili, plus one lithograph called Les Boulevards.

I visited Wilson Flats this afternoon and retrieved this beautiful coin. I have a degree in the Arts and a Specialist in Fine Arts....so I will find an artful location to place this coin. BTW, my degrees are almost antiques! Vintage you might say!

We came back to Mac to celebrate my friend successfully defending his Ph.D. thesis. So before heading to the Phoenix for a few BEvERages and snacks, my wife and I decided to stroll around campus.

I am an Hons. B.Sc. (Kinesiology) 2003 grad, and my wife a B.A. (English) 2002 alumnus. Things have changed a bit, but it still feels like home.

We picked up one of the two coins...let's see where it ends up! A beautiful coin...almost too nice to move on!
