However skilled the artist, a painting could only ever be, as his colleague Maurice Denis put it, "a flat surface covered with colors assembled in a certain order,"—but it needn't pretend to be anything else. Rather, Vuillard downplayed naturalistic detail in order to emphasize the aesthetic properties of line, color and form; bringing these to the fore in a manner that not only rendered his work beautiful in a strictly abstract sense, but also expressed his feelings toward the subject. Whereas the academic realists of the era were amply equipped to reproduce what they saw, Vuillard and the Nabis were better enabling artists to communicate how they saw. Repast in the Garden is illustrative of a prominent theme in Vuillard's work: the tension between indoor and outdoor spaces, the natural and artificial. Whereas his interior scenes emphasized architectural structure and geometry to a degree sometimes served to stifle and constrain his subjects, his natural environments were rendered in winding lines and energetic patterns evocative of growth and recreation.
