==Graphic arts==
Bonnard wrote, "Notre génération a toujours cherché les rapports de l'art avec la vie" (Our generation always was searching for connections between art and life).<ref>Cited in Flouquet, Sophie, ''L'Art Nouveau, du sol au plafond'' p. 42, ''Les Nabis et le decor'', Beaux Arts Éditions (2019)</ref> Bonnard and the other Nabis were particularly interested in integrating their art into popular forms, such as posters, journal covers and illustrations, and engravings in books, as well as into ordinary household decoration,  in the form of murals, painted screens, textiles, tapestries, furniture, glass and dishes.<ref>Flouquet, Sophie, ''L'Art Nouveau, du sol au plafond'' p. 42, ''Les Nabis et le decor'', Beaux Arts Éditions (2019)</ref>

At the beginning of his career, Bonnard designed posters for a French champagne firm, for which he gained public attention. He later produced many sets of engravings illustrating the works of the avant-garde authors of his time.
