On a cold winter morning in Paris in 1893, Marie, a farmer’s daughter from the Midi is helped across a bustling street by a diffident young artist named Pierre Bonnard. When the two finally speaks she introduces herself not as Marie, but as Marthe de M ligny, the aristocratic daughter of Italian parents.
Marthe becomes Bonnard’s lover and muse for the next fifty years; before he met her there were no nudes in his work but afterwards her body, perched naked above a mirror of water or at her toilette, would dominate his art. Forever Nude is an homage, a love letter, an impassioned, intimate record of the artist u a great friend of Matisse, a great enemy of Picasso u and an extraordinary evocation of the world of both artist and model.
