Le clown au fond rouge (The Red Clown); and Le clown JoJo (The Clown JoJo)
Bernard Buffet's iconic graphic style is on full display in these two signed and numbered lithographs, *Le clown au fond rouge* and *Le clown JoJo*, each from a limited edition of 116/125. Buffet's signature angular, heavily outlined figures bring his melancholic clowns to life with a raw expressiveness that became one of his most celebrated subjects. The works reflect his lifelong fascination with the clown as a symbol of solitude and theatricality, rendered with striking intensity and emotional depth.
