Bernard Buffet

La parade (The Parade), from Mon cirque (My Circus)

A striking example of Bernard Buffet's signature style, this vibrant color lithograph captures the theatrical energy of circus performers assembled in a lively parade. Buffet's characteristically bold, angular lines and expressive palette bring the festive spectacle to life, conveying both the pageantry and the underlying melancholy that defines his iconic interpretation of circus life. Printed on fine Arches paper with full margins and issued with a central fold as part of his celebrated *Mon cirque* series, this work reflects Buffet's deep fascination with the world of the circus as a stage for human drama.

Medium
Lithograph in colors, on Arches paper, with full margins, with central fold (as issued) and printed title on the reverse.
