Affiche d'Exposition - Le pain et le vin (Bread and Wine), by Charles Sorlier; and La cafetière rouge (The Red Coffee-Maker)
Bernard Buffet's stark, expressive linework defines these two works, capturing everyday objects—bread, wine, and a red coffee maker—with his signature angular austerity. The exhibition poster, created in collaboration with master printer Charles Sorlier, reflects Buffet's ability to transform mundane domestic subjects into compositions of quiet tension and melancholy. His bold, almost harsh outlines and restrained palette elevate these simple still-life themes into powerful statements of postwar existential sensibility.
