Tribute to the animal kingdom
An admirer of artists such as Rosa Bonheur and Paul Jouve, Bernard Buffet developed a keen interest in animal painting. Over the years, he created a collection of works that reflect his fascination with the animal kingdom.
His animal subjects seem to possess a profound humanity, thus making us aware of the absurdity of viewing animals as inferior to humans
