Émile Bernard (1868-1941) is a French painter, engraver and writer. Post-impressionist artist, he is associated with the Pont-Aven school. He met Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Eugène Boch and later Paul Cézanne.

Catalog raisonné of the work of Émile Bernard, reference work covering his entire professional life from 1881 to 1941. With chronology, lists of the main critical and literary works, lists of exhibitions. Composed of 41 color illustrations and 1560 monochrome illustrations. This great figure of modern art and romantic character worked with Gauguin during his visit to Pont-Aven, a place which saw the birth of a new art, with simplified forms. Regardless of whether it is called cloisonnism, synthetism or symbolism, this new approach marked the representation of the decades that followed. His work was also enriched by a stay in Egypt which lasted 10 years. On his return to France, he founded the magazine La Rénovation Esthétique and there exposed his refractory and avant-garde ideas.
