Abstract (en)

Explores Vuillard's attempt to merge the fine arts with decoration in his decorative panels of the 1890s and early 1900s. Discusses the painter's relationship with the Nabis and Nabi theory of decoration in art, his use of the distemper technique to achieve a surface comparable to fresco or tapestry, and the patronage of the Natanson family. Considers several of his decorative works of this period, including the Public Gardens series of 1894 and the Figures and Interiors series of 1896.
