Bernard Buffet (1928-1999) - Siemens

This lithograph by Bernard Buffet on vellum paper portrays a stylized industrial universe, composed of mechanical structures, panels and networks of lines evoking machines or electrical installations. The word “Siemens” reinforces this reference to the technical world.

Done in black and white, the work is distinguished by a sharp, emphatic and expressive line, characteristic of the artist. The composition is structured, repetitive and deliberately rigid, creating a cold and almost mechanical atmosphere.

It belongs to a modern figurative expressionist style, where reality is simplified and transformed by a strong graphic handwriting.
