Additional Details: This original lithograph exhibition poster by Bernard Buffet was created and printed in 1965 by the renowned Atelier Mourlot, one of the most prestigious print workshops in Paris, known for its collaborations with leading 20th-century artists including Picasso, Chagall, and Matisse. The composition depicts the historic Château de Culan in the Cher region of France, rendered in Buffet’s unmistakable linear style—sharp, angular contours, stark contrasts, and a restrained palette that heightens the dramatic, almost austere atmosphere of the scene. The towering turrets and rigid architectural forms are set against a dense network of expressive lines, creating a sense of tension and depth that is characteristic of Buffet’s work during this period. This lithograph is plate signed by the artist and was produced using traditional stone lithography, exemplifying the craftsmanship of the pre-digital poster era, when artists worked closely with master printers to achieve rich tonal variation and precise line quality. Published in conjunction with the exhibition, this piece stands as both a compelling visual work and a historical document of Buffet’s continued engagement with architectural and landscape subjects in mid-20th-century France. A highly collectible example of Buffet’s graphic work, particularly desirable due to its Mourlot provenance and strong, iconic imagery. Framing available upon request.
