About the Item

With a sharp line and a somber palette, Bernard Buffet renders the iconic skyline of New York in his unmistakable expressionist style. This original lithographic poster, created around 1965, captures the towering mass of Manhattan’s architecture rising solemnly above the East River — a striking homage to the modern metropolis. Buffet’s skyline is not celebratory, but architectural and almost melancholic. Using dark, linear crosshatching and muted tones of ochre, gray, and rust, he presents New York as a dense wall of vertical structures. The bridges and reflections in the water at the bottom anchor the image, while a pale sky looms above, almost void. This poster was published to promote Buffet’s New York exhibition, where his interpretations of urban landscapes stood as metaphors for modern alienation and grandeur. Unlike romanticized portrayals of the city, Buffet’s vision is stripped-down and austere, echoing the artist’s emotional distance and structural obsession. A powerful piece for admirers of mid-century expressionism, urban modernism, or simply lovers of New York, this poster is both a collector's item and a visual statement — sharp, evocative, and utterly Buffet.
