Edouard Vuillard
A caricaturist of the pantomime of daily life, here Vuillard depicts
his sister, her face a ghostly white, floating into the rarified air of
imagination and escape from their authoritarian, dressmaker
mother, solidly seated at her side. This family drama is played out
against a richly-patterned interior. This theatrical scene, however,
was entirely constructed by this volatile Nabi, for whom reality was
too banal to feed his art.
