Bernard BUFFET (Paris, 1928 - Tourtour, 1999) FLOWERS AND FRUITS 1991 Oil on canvas Signed upper right 81 x 61 cm Certificate from Galerie Maurice Garnier Bernard Buffet's very characteristic style is recognizable by a black and angular graphic design that encircles the forms - on backgrounds that are often cross-hatched - the compositions of his still lifes all obey the same principles of construction, radiating structures placed at the end of an entablature whose angular edge puts us at a distance. Described as expressionist, his nervous lines exude a strength of construction that is nevertheless marked by a certain melancholy.
