As summer begins and a long weekend invites us to slow down, Pierre Bonnard’s "Dining Room on the Garden" offers a world suspended in time. Painted in the mid-1930s amid rapid change and global uncertainty, Bonnard turned instead toward intimate moments of everyday life: sunlight spilling through windows, shared spaces, and the shifting atmosphere of a quiet morning. ☀️

Across more than 60 dining-room scenes, Bonnard explored not just domestic life but the feeling of being inside a moment. Colors blur into one another, interiors merge with gardens beyond, and light transforms familiar spaces into something dreamlike. In "Dining Room on the Garden", the season feels almost tangible: warm, lingering, and fleeting all at once—a reminder to savor the small moments that define summer.

Farewell to Robert Redford, one of the last of the mythic movie stars, who seemed to glow like a sunrise. As an actor, he made understatement magnetic, and he conjured irresistible slow-burning chemistry with costars from Newman to Streisand. Then there is the bounty of Sundance.

#RIP & thank you RobertRedford, a tremendously influential cultural figure for the creative choices made as an actor/producer/director & for launching the Sundance Film Festival which supercharged America’s Independent Film movement. Artistic Gamechanger https://t.co/HswHhmWq2D
