"Painting, we do not talk about it,
we do not analyse it,
we feel it."
Bernard Buffet
" Entered in painting as we got in religion,
he found a land of refuge, his workshop.
What from anxiety or serenity will keep him compagny ?
Again, a useless questions ...
We always talk too much "
Annabel Buffet - 1984

Interesting illustration. Thanks for introducing me to this artist.
hi Sharon..
I cannot take the credit here...
it was my friend Jan the Poet who introduced me to this amazing Artist :)
There are some paintings that looks simple but yet it's very valuable. That is why art works are not meant to analyze but to feel its mood

very true Bobby...
a lot of people think that art needs to be explained ...
it should be enjoyed for its visual presence :)
I have always enjoyed art a little on the dark side. Which is definitely hard to tell by the subjects I choose to shoot.
But, edgy and/or Gothic has always been of great interest to me.
This is fabulous!!
hi Jackie...
yes fascinating work isn't it...
maybe it's your other side calling out to you ....I think a lot of artists feel tempted to lash out and paint their inner selves which was obviously the case with Bernard Buffet...
his clowns would appeal to you too Jackie :)
Love that piece! Take care
I love his art...

Kim, I read on your bio that you liked Babette's Feast...I saw that movie perhaps 15 yrs ago (could it be that long?!) and remember every detail of it; something else in common :)
