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.
