The artwork titled “Nature morte,” created by Bernard Buffet in 1955, belongs to the Expressionism movement and is classified as a still life.
The artwork depicts a table setting with a dark green bottle, a white goblet, and a large black plate holding two fried eggs. The setting is framed within a grid-like background of yellow and black, adding a stark contrast that highlights the objects. Buffet’s distinctive, bold lines and color choices convey a sense of starkness and simplicity. The arrangement of items suggests a moment captured in time, typical of the still life genre, yet imbued with a deeper, expressive quality characteristic of Expressionism. The artist’s signature is notable on the upper right, reinforcing the authenticity and unique style of Bernard Buffet.
