Original Description
Emile Bernard’s Les Etrennes (1892) is a captivating example of Cloisonnism, a style characterized by bold outlines and flat planes of color, which Bernard pioneered alongside Paul Gauguin. The painting exudes warmth and intimacy, depicting a young girl holding a bouquet of flowers—likely a New Year’s gift, as the title ("The Gift") suggests. The rich, muted tones and simplified forms create a dreamlike quality, blending Symbolism with Post-Impressionist innovation. Bernard’s rejection of naturalism in favor of emotional and decorative expression marked a turning point in modern art, influencing the Nabis and Fauvism. Les Etrennes reflects his fascination with everyday moments rendered poetically, cementing his role as a bridge between traditional representation and avant-garde experimentation.
For interior spaces, Les Etrennes would harmonize beautifully in a study or living room with classic, understated elegance. Its warm earth tones—ochres, deep greens, and soft pinks—pair well with wooden furniture or leather accents, while the stylized forms complement Art Nouveau or Japoneseque decor. A medium-sized reproduction (around 24x30 inches) would anchor a cozy reading nook or grace a mantel, with framing options ranging from ornate gilt to minimalist walnut to echo its Cloisonnist edges. In an office, it adds sophistication without overwhelming; place it near greenery or textured textiles to amplify its organic feel. The painting’s intimate scale invites close viewing, making it ideal for spaces where quiet contemplation or creative inspiration is desired.
