Arums, fond jaune (Arums, Yellow Background); and Lys et iris (Lilies and Iris)
Bernard Buffet's floral still lifes showcase his signature style of stark, angular lines and muted tones set against bold, contrasting backgrounds. In *Arums, fond jaune*, the elegant calla lilies emerge with dramatic tension against a vivid yellow ground, while *Lys et iris* presents a striking arrangement of lilies and irises rendered with his characteristic expressive austerity. Together, these works demonstrate Buffet's ability to transform the traditional floral genre into something rawly modern and emotionally charged.
