About the Object
This likeness captures the intense fervor of the artist's friend and patron, Aurélien-Marie Lugné-Poë (1869-1940), an actor and daring theatrical producer who helped Vuillard obtain his first commission for a theatrical poster. The artist's use of broad areas of flat color to define form and volume in this intimate portrait is typical of the Nabis painters, a group of artists influenced by Paul Gauguin and with whom Vuillard was aligned.
