Along with fellow post-impressionists, Vuillard helped change the course of French painting. His long career spanned the fin-de-siecle and the first four decades of the twentieth century. Unlike his impressionist forebears, who explored the effects of light in the outdoors, Vuillard focused on the psychologically charged private worlds of his friends and family, as well as the decorative effects of color and pattern. This program chronicles Vuillard's entire career, including his early designs for avant-garde theater, evocative interior scenes, and rarely seen photographs. It also features his grand screen decorations alongside footage of the Parisian garden that inspired them.
