Buffet, Bernard, Saint-Tropez – Bathers at “Tahiti”, 1979

Baigneuses à “Tahiti“, an original lithograph by Bernard Buffet, features the vivid colors typical of the artist’s work. The scene evokes the bright Mediterranean sunlight with the presence of a vacationing couple, perhaps a self-portrait with Annabel. The woman, lying on her back with her hands covering her eyes to protect herself from the sun, and the man, casually lying on his stomach, embody the calm and relaxation of a day at the beach.
