After being postponed for three years, the NGV's 2023 Winter Masterpieces paired Pierre Bonnard's paintings with India Mahdavi's immersive scenography. The blockbuster exhibition displayed more than 100 works by the beloved 20th-century French painter, who was revered for his iridescent palette that used colour to convey fleeting emotions, moods and moments. Paris-based architect and designer India Mahdavi then created an immersive environment that perfectly complemented the painter's wistful use of colour and texture.
