About the Item
In 1973, Bernard Buffet created the lithograph Le Havre – Le Bassin du Commerce, paying homage to the industrial and maritime heart of the city of Le Havre. Known for its rich maritime history and status as one of France’s most important ports, Le Havre has long been a symbol of trade, commerce, and resilience. Through his signature style—marked by bold lines, stark contrasts, and an expressive, structured composition—Buffet captures the essence of this bustling port city.
Le Havre’s Bassin du Commerce has been a focal point of economic activity, connecting France to global markets for centuries. As a hub of both commerce and maritime tradition, it has played a key role in the nation’s development. Buffet’s decision to depict this site reflects his deep appreciation for urban landscapes and industrial environments, themes that recur throughout his career.
A leading figure of French Expressionism and figurative art, Buffet rejected abstraction in favor of precise, linear compositions that evoke both structure and emotion. His work often conveys a sense of nostalgia and solemnity, making this lithograph not just a representation of Le Havre’s commercial vitality but also a reflection on time, history, and the evolution of French cities.
This 1973 lithograph is a significant piece within Buffet’s oeuvre, encapsulating his ability to transform urban landscapes into compelling artistic statements. For collectors and admirers of his work, Le Havre – Le Bassin du Commerce serves as a testament to both the city’s maritime legacy and Buffet’s masterful approach to capturing France’s industrial and historical landscapes.

By Bernard Buffet
Located in Topeka, KS
Fabulous vintage MCM or Mid-Century Modern “St. Martin Canal” and “France Port de La Rochelle” Bernard Buffet Lithograph framed and matted prints. These vintage prints are signed and dated in the printing process but do not have original pencil signatures. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. These prints remain in their original of-the-era frames, mats and backing. New brown paper has been applied to the back of frames. We found no scratches or nicks to the prints themselves. Frames may show some age. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1955 & 1956.
NOTE: We have these listed to be sold as a pair; however, if you are interested in just one or the other let us know.

Exquisite scenes of Paris created by French artist Bernard Buffet to display in your own home! We have two mid-century modern unsigned lithograph prints consisting of a larger print of a scene titled “St. Martin Canal” dated 1956, matted inside a lovely black and silver painted wood frame. And a smaller print of a scene titled “France Le Port de La Rochelle” dated 1955, matted inside a wood frame. These mats and frames are original to the prints. The St. Martin Canal is located in the heart of the city just adjacent to the Seine River and today is a popular tourist destination. Can’t you just see yourself standing upon that bridge with the breeze blowing your hair as you gaze upon the beautiful “City of Lights??” Or maybe you would prefer walking along the harbor watching boats come to port as they sail in off of the Atlantic Ocean? That’s exactly what you can imagine as you gaze upon “France Le Port de La Rochelle!” La Rochelle is a city on the west coast of France and a seaport on the Bay of Biscay. Both of these scenic areas are breathtaking, and Buffet captured their beauty with his proficient Expressionist style!!! They are going to be wonderful on any wall and they’re sure to bring a bit of French fabulous-ness into your home!
