Product description
The stark, angular linework of mid-century French expressionism defines This print, featuring a classic red MG 37 parked by a coastal road. The composition is characterized by sharp, black ink outlines and a textured, cross-hatched yellow foreground that contrasts with the blue horizon. Bold typography anchors the piece, referencing a 1985 exhibition at the Galerie Maurice Garnier in Paris.
This piece evokes the golden age of European motoring, where the car was more than a vehicle; it was a symbol of freedom and avant-garde style. The scratchy, nervous lines typical of Buffet’s work provide a sense of movement and raw energy, turning a static object into a statement of mid-century modern aesthetic. It carries a heavy sense of nostalgia for the French Riviera and the chic, leisurely pace of 1980s gallery culture.
The subject sits squarely within modern art prints, close in spirit to exhibition posters.
