Édouard Vuillard's At the Revue Blanche is a painting created in 1899 by the French artist, who was a prominent member of the Nabi group, a post-Impressionist movement that emphasized the use of color, pattern, and symbolism. This work is an example of Vuillard's intimate and decorative style, which often depicted domestic interiors, portraits, and scenes from everyday life.
The painting portrays a scene at the offices of La Revue Blanche, a progressive literary and artistic magazine based in Paris that was active from 1889 to 1903. The magazine was known for its avant-garde content and its support of Symbolist and modernist artists and writers. Vuillard had close personal and professional ties to the founders of the magazine, the Natanson brothers—Thadée, Alexandre, and Alfred—who were influential figures in the Parisian cultural scene of the late 19th century. Thadée Natanson, in particular, was a patron of Vuillard and other artists of the Nabi group.
In At the Revue Blanche, Vuillard captures the atmosphere of the magazine's headquarters, where intellectuals, writers, and artists gathered to collaborate and exchange ideas. The composition reflects Vuillard's characteristic use of flattened perspective, muted color palettes, and intricate patterns. The figures in the painting are rendered with a sense of intimacy and informality, emphasizing the personal connections and creative energy of the scene. The work also demonstrates Vuillard's interest in the interplay of light and texture, as well as his ability to create a harmonious balance between the figures and their surroundings.
The painting is notable for its historical and cultural significance, as it provides a glimpse into the vibrant artistic and intellectual milieu of fin-de-siècle Paris. It also highlights Vuillard's role as a chronicler of modern life and his ability to merge the decorative and the narrative in his art.
Today, At the Revue Blanche is recognized as an important example of Vuillard's work and the broader Nabi movement. It is held in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be appreciated for its artistic and historical value.
