BUFFET Bernard - Original lithograph "Les trois moulins" 58x76cm - 1986

Bernard Buffet pays tribute to one of the most iconic landscapes of the Netherlands with Les trois moulins (1986), an original lithograph where his distinctive graphic style sublimates traditional Dutch architecture. Created on vellum paper measuring 58 × 76 cm, this composition features three windmills standing majestically by the water, under a vast sky crossed by a network of black hatchings that is one of the artist's visual signatures. The firm and nervous lines sculpt the volumes with precision, while the shades of blue, green, and ochre bring a unique light to this peaceful scene. The reflection of the windmills in the canal enhances the depth of the image and accentuates the silent atmosphere emanating from this countryside view. Numbered and signed in pencil by Bernard Buffet, this original lithograph is reproduced in the catalogue raisonné Bernard Buffet Lithographie – Tome 2 by Maurice Garnier and Fernand Mourlot (Sorlier) under number 475, guaranteeing its authenticity and importance in the artist's engraved work.

Through Les trois moulins, Bernard Buffet once again demonstrates his talent for reinventing iconic landscapes and monuments with an immediately identifiable style. The windmills, symbols of Dutch heritage, become true graphic architectures here, where each line contributes to creating a visual tension of great elegance. The contrast between the black masses of the drawing and the luminous colors gives the work a remarkable expressive force, while maintaining an impression of calm and balance. Dated 1986, this print will appeal to collectors of original lithographs by Bernard Buffet as well as modern art enthusiasts, European landscape enthusiasts, Dutch scene admirers, and 20th-century paper works. With its handwritten signature, numbering, and inclusion in the Sorlier catalogue raisonné, this lithograph is a reference piece, ideal for enriching a collection dedicated to Bernard Buffet or to the great masters of contemporary printmaking.
