Edouard Vuillard

Japanese: ビュイヤール - びゅいやーる(英語表記)Edouard Vuillard
Edouard Vuillard

French painter. Born on November 11th in Cuiseaux, Sore-et-Loir, where his father, a retired officer, was posted as a tax collector. In 1877, his family returned to Paris, where he studied at the Lycée Condorcet as a scholarship student, where he became friends with future Nabis painters Roussel and Denis. After his father's death in 1884, his mother ran a women's clothing tailoring shop to support the family. Influenced by Roussel, he decided to become a painter, and entered the Academie Julian in 1888. There he met Bonnard, Sérusier, Ranson, and Ibels, with whom he formed the Nabis in the late 1880s. During this Nabis period (1890s), he had close ties with the magazine Les Blanches, run by the Nathanson brothers, and also designed the sets and programs for the theatre productions of his friend, the theater artist Lune Pau. Its bold colors and flat, decorative composition show the influence of Gauguin and Japanese ukiyo-e.

He preferred to paint intimate indoor scenes and other mundane scenes of everyday life, and together with Bonnard, he became a representative "Anthymist" (intimate, interior scene) painter. In the 20th century, his style became calm and balanced, but in his later years, his paintings showed a traditional tendency and became somewhat dull. He remained single all his life, and lived a close family life with his mother, who often appears in his paintings, until her death in 1928. He died in La Baule, Brittany, on June 21, 1940. His diary will be made public in 1990, 50 years after his death. His representative works include "Parisian Parks" (1894, Musée National d'Art Moderne, Paris; originally a series of nine decorative panels).

Japanese:

フランスの画家。退役士官の父が収税吏として赴任したソール・エ・ロアール県キュイゾーで11月11日に生まれる。1877年一家はパリに戻り、給費生としてリセ・コンドルセに通い、ここで後のナビ派の画家ルーセルやドニらと親交を結ぶ。84年の父の死後、母は婦人服の仕立屋を経営して家計を支えた。やがてルーセルの感化で画家を志し、88年アカデミー・ジュリアンに入る。同塾でボナール、セリュジエ、ランソン、イベルスらを知り、80年代末に彼らとともにナビ派を結成した。このナビ派の時代(1890年代)には、ナタンソン兄弟の主宰する雑誌『ルビュ・ブランシュ』と密接な関係をもつとともに、友人の演劇人リュネ・ポーの制作座の舞台装置やプログラムもデザインした。その大胆な色彩による平面的で装飾的な画面構成は、ゴーギャンや日本の浮世絵の影響を示している。

 彼は室内の親密な情景など平凡な日常生活を好んで描き、ボナールとともに「アンティミスト」(親密派、内景派)の代表的な画家となる。20世紀に入ってその描法は穏やかでバランスのとれたものとなるが、晩年には伝統的な傾向をみせ、やや生彩を欠くものとなった。生涯独身を通し、しばしば彼の絵に登場する母親が1928年に他界するまで、親子水入らずの生活を送った。40年6月21日ブルターニュのラ・ボールで没。死後50年目の1990年にその日記が公開されることになっている。代表作には『パリの公園』(1894・パリ国立近代美術館。元来は九枚の装飾パネルからなる連作)などがある。
