    • 2015 September 24, “Bonnard”, in El País:
      Como un Virgilio moderno, en su estudio de París o en sus talleres de Vernon y Le Cannet, los dos con luces tan enfrentadas: la oscura y fría de la Normandía norteña o la centelleante y llena de intensidad y color de la Costa Azul francesa, remedo de la Arcadia virgiliana, Bonnard entregó su vida a apresar los colores del mundo, que acabarían siendo en sus cuadros, tras abandonar poco a poco la figuración humana, lo verdaderamente sustancial de él.
