Like Paul Gauguin and Georges Seurat, Édouard Vuillard (1868–1940) played a significant role in the development of Post-Impressionism in France. After 1900, Vuillard contributed to the period’s renewed interest in the decorative arts, and to the so-called “return to order” that followed the First World War. The three volumes of this catalogue gather over 2,700 works organized chronologically. The publication features a number of photographs taken by the artist, sketches, preparatory drawings and an appendix, which includes a chronology.

The online catalogue lists approximately 2,700 authentic paintings and pastels, arranged chronologically. All works are illustrated, often with comparative illustrations and corresponding preparatory sketches. Entries include provenance, collection, date, medium, dimensions, inscriptions. Some entries also contain some exhibition information, references, and comments.
