REFERENCE: Mourlot Catalogue Raisonné No. 216
INFORMATION: This lithograph is part of the “Jeux de dames” series, featuring poems by Verlaine, Rimbaud, and Baudelaire, printed in an edition of 250 copies in 1970. It is inspired by the text “Per Amica Silentia”
Bernard BUFFET (1928–1999) was a French painter and printmaker renowned for his austere figurative paintings imbued with social criticism. Characterized by thick, angular black outlines and a limited color palette, Buffet’s landscapes, portraits, and still lifes were angular and provocative—a stylistic choice reflecting the alienation and anxiety of his postwar generation. Art history, death, sexuality, politics, and religion were recurring themes in his work. A prolific artist, Buffet produced approximately 8,000 works during his lifetime. He enjoyed meteoric success, followed by a dramatic decline in critical acclaim beginning in the 1950s; today, scholars are once again celebrating his legacy. His works are now included in the collections of the Centre Pompidou, the Tate, and MoMA. A museum in Japan is entirely dedicated to his work.
