12646 Bernard Buffet (1928–1999),after – Château de cartes (House of Cards)
This offset print depicts a whimsical still life with a house of cards and a pendulum clock on a table, set against a striped green background. The composition, titled "Château de cartes" (House of Cards), uses bold, dark lines and a flat, graphic style, which are hallmarks of Buffet's distinctive aesthetic. The presence of the clock and the precarious house of cards evokes themes of the fragility of existence and the relentless passage of time, a common motif in his later work.
Bernard Buffet was a highly prolific and celebrated French painter, printmaker, and illustrator. He became a prominent figure in the post-war art scene, known for his unique style characterized by angular lines, a limited and somber color palette, and expressive figurative subjects. He rose to international fame in the mid-20th century and was a master of his craft, producing a vast body of work that included portraits, still lifes, and landscapes.
