''The Newspaper Reader'' (French: ''La Liseuse de journaux''), created between 1896 and 1898, is a notable work by the French painter Jean-Édouard Vuillard, a prominent member of the post-impressionist group Les Nabis. This painting is an exquisite example of Vuillard's intimate domestic scenes, which often feature rich patterns and textures that blend the figure with the surrounding environment.

In ''The Newspaper Reader'', Vuillard depicts a quiet moment of everyday life, capturing an individual engrossed in reading a newspaper. The composition is characterized by a harmonious interplay of colors and decorative motifs that are typical of Vuillard's style during this period. The figure, likely a woman based on the fashion of the time, is integrated into the scene through Vuillard's use of flattened space and the repetition of forms and patterns, which was influenced by Japanese prints and the work of other Nabi artists like Pierre Bonnard.

Vuillard's attention to the subtleties of indoor lighting and the psychological depth of his subjects adds a layer of complexity to this seemingly simple scene. The painting not only reflects the artist's fascination with the private and the mundane but also serves as a commentary on the role of print media in the daily lives of individuals at the turn of the 20th century.

''The Newspaper Reader'' is held in high regard for its contribution to the Nabis movement's exploration of the boundaries between fine art and decorative art. Vuillard's work from this period, including this painting, is often celebrated for its innovative approach to composition and its pioneering role in the development of modernist aesthetics. The painting is part of a larger body of Vuillard's work that captures the essence of the private sphere, making it a significant piece in the study of early modernist painting and the artist's oeuvre.
