Wuyar biography

I do not make portraits, I paint people in their homes. Wuyar was fond of wall painting, scenography. In a later period, the artist turned to secular portraits. A characteristic craving for soft, slightly muffled tones or halftones was combined with small inserts of black and dark colors, especially this was pronounced in its interiors and images of gardens. Vuyara, as well as group members as Walloton and Bonnar, called the Intimists; however, all three are artists with very different manners of the letter.

In general, Nabi were not a “tough” group: by the year they were already united only by the common memory. And for Wuyar, it was E who was an extremely important period of creativity: in fact, it was then that he took place as an artist with his vision of the world, his topics and his “handwriting”.
