Bernard Buffet

Album San Francisco: Oakland Bridge

A striking lithograph by Bernard Buffet depicting the iconic Oakland Bay Bridge rendered in his signature bold, angular style with stark lines and expressive contrasts. Buffet's characteristically austere yet dramatic approach brings the monumental structure to life on Arches paper, capturing the bridge's industrial grandeur with a raw, graphic intensity. The rich colors of the lithograph enhance the brooding urban atmosphere that defines Buffet's distinctive vision of the modern world.
