The Bonnard Museum towards "Balthus, Bazaine, Rothko...The Bonnard children" builds a dialog between the Bonnard paintings and some most contemporary artists (Asse, Bardone, Bioulès, Blanche, Frydman, Kimura, Lesieur, Mangu, Marchand, Segal, Truphémus, Vieira da Silva). Bonnard uses shiny colors and simplified forms for making a singular work belonging to vanguard far from painting genders. Like the members of the Brit movment Arts and Craft do he follows the goal to put together the differents kind of paintings for creating the total art. "Balthus, Bazaine, Rothko...The Bonnard children" materialize this will because we can find several common points between Bonnard and most contemporary artists. At first Bonnard succeeds to juxtapose warm colors (orange, yellow) with cold colors (Blu, ...) and we can notice such alchimy in Balthus canvas "La Phalène" (1952) or in Da Vieira paintings. Bonnard uses also reflecting forms like windows or mirors for staying free from reality (Pierre Bonnard "Le Café du Petit Poucet", 1928). Both contemporary painters Jean Bazaine ("Ombre sur la mer", 1963) and Kimura ("Clos Saint - Pierre") use the same way of doing for giving an impression of vibration. Bonnard introduces also moving colors linked with the topic giving a depth feeling. This kind of doing seduces the painter Robert Mangu and he introduces it inside his own cycle of the Great Living unifying men and nature.
