Drypoints
To acknowledge the consistently remarkable precision of the black lines in Bernard Buffet's compositions, Jean Cocteau described him as the 'prince of ink flowers and wire.'
Bernard Buffet is particularly fond of drypoint, a printmaking technique ideal for creating the subtle interplay of shadow and light that lends depth and delicacy to the artist’s engravings.
