Original Description
Apres Dejeuner by Albert Andre captures an intimate moment of post-luncheon leisure in typical French bourgeois interiors. This early 20th-century work embodies the intimate charm of Pierre Bonnard's Nabis contemporaries while maintaining Andre's distinctive delicate brushwork. Sunlight filters through sheer curtains, illuminating women in flowing dresses engaged in quiet conversation amidst tableware still bearing traces of their meal. The painting's warm ochres and soft greens create gentle color harmonies characteristic of Intimist painting - a movement Andre helped pioneer alongside Édouard Vuillard. As a transitional work bridging Impressionism and Modernism, it showcases Andre's unique ability to transform domestic scenes into poetic compositions through subtle tonal variations and atmospheric depth. Though less radical than his avant-garde peers, Andre's contributions to capturing Belle Époque domesticity secured his position as an important chronicler of French interior life during art history's pivotal turn-of-the-century period.
At 24×32 inches, Apres Dejeuner's medium size makes it perfect for creating focal points above consoles or sideboards in dining areas or studies. Its soft palette harmonizes wonderfully with neutral-toned walls or dark wood paneling, while the domestic subject matter naturally complements traditional, transitional, or French country interiors. For contemporary spaces, frame it in slim gilt or black lacquer to bridge historical and modern aesthetics. Positioned opposite windows, the painting's luminosity doubles when catching natural light. In offices, it lends cultured sophistication when paired with leather furnishings and brass accents - particularly effective in executive suites or professional spaces aiming to project refined European sensibility. Reproductions should maintain original proportions to preserve compositional balance; consider matting with warm ivory to enhance its sunlit quality while preventing visual competition with bold textiles or wall colors.
