Bernard Buffet — Marguerites rouges (Red Daisies), and Fleurs oranges dans un pot (Orange Flowers in a Pot)
Bernard Buffet

Marguerites rouges (Red Daisies), and Fleurs oranges dans un pot (Orange Flowers in a Pot)

Bernard Buffet's *Marguerites rouges (Red Daisies)* and *Fleurs oranges dans un pot (Orange Flowers in a Pot)* are a pair of lithographs published by the prestigious Editions Mourlot, Paris, each bearing the artist's distinctive pencil signature. The works exemplify Buffet's bold, expressive graphic style, rendered in vivid reds and oranges that bring an striking intensity to these floral subjects. Both are rare impressions — one designated E.A. (artist's proof, from an edition of 25 aside from the main run of 125), and the other H.C. (hors commerce, aside from the edition of 125 and 30 Roman-numeral artist's proofs) — underscoring their particular collectible significance.

Medium
Both signed and annotated E.A. and H.C. respectively in pencil (one of 25 artist's proofs, aside from the edition of 125; and aside from the edition of 125 and 30 artist's proofs in Roman numerals, respectively), published by Editions Mourlot, Paris, both unframed.
