Le papillon rouge et jaune (Red and Yellow Butterfly); and La rascasse (Scorpion Fish)
Bernard Buffet's characteristic angular linework and stark, expressive style bring these two contrasting subjects to life — a vivid red and yellow butterfly rendered with bold, graphic precision, and a menacing scorpion fish depicted with jagged, unsettling contours. The works exemplify Buffet's ability to infuse even the natural world with a sense of raw tension and emotional intensity, his trademark dark outlines defining each form with dramatic clarity. Together, they showcase the breadth of his subject matter while remaining unmistakably united by his singular, haunting aesthetic vision.
