NOTICE Bernard Buffet, a French painter emblematic of Expressionism, is known for his rigorous compositions and angular, incisive strokes. In Arum, he explores the theme of the bouquet with his characteristic style, transforming a traditional subject into a work imbued with tension and emotion. The arums, painted with sharp black outlines, stand out against an often dark or neutral background, intensifying the austerity and contrast of the composition. Here, Buffet captures the sober elegance of the arums while retaining a touch of coolness typical of his style. His linear strokes and restricted color palette give the flowers an imposing, almost dramatic presence, accentuating the idea of fragility and strength inherent in this type of bouquet. This work testifies to Buffet's ability to infuse simple subjects with psychological depth and symbolism, transforming a bouquet into an introspective moment. Close in the spirit of his treatment of still lifes to Georges Rouault for his expressiveness, and to Jean Fautrier for his sober, uncluttered approach, Bernard Buffet imposes a unique vision in Arum. Today, this oil on isorel is appreciated for its ability to embody a beauty that is both austere and captivating, true to Buffet's intense artistic identity.
