Original lithograph in color Bateau de pêche à la Ponche, featuring a charming tartane, introducing a happy Mediterranean year for the artist. This typical Saint-Tropez boat attracts the viewer’s eye with its simplicity. Its water-green hull structure stands out. The obliquely closed sail adds a touch of realism to the whole.
About the author
Bernard Buffet (1928-1999)
Bernard Buffet developed a figurative expressionist style in a post-war period dominated by abstraction. He developed an eminently graphic aesthetic characterized by strong black lines and angular drawing. The network of crosshatching, also present on the backgrounds of his compositions, provides a plastic link between the various elements of the image.
