Where to See Dusk, or A Round of Croquet: Musée d'Orsay

Pierre Bonnard executed this twilight scene of figures playing croquet. The soft evening light dissolves forms into patterns of color. Bonnard's intimate approach transformed ordinary leisure into poetic visions.

The Nabis painter was known for domestic and garden scenes suffused with memory and sensation. This work hangs at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
