The Kiss x Bernard Buffet
In this striking reinterpretation, Gustav Klimt's ‘The Kiss’ comes to life in Bernard Buffet's angular, linear aesthetic. In keeping with his distinctive style, rigid lines and geometric shapes dominate the composition, lending dramatic intensity to this tender scene. The lovers' faces, at once intimate and distant, are framed by sharp black outlines, which contrast with the gilding reminiscent of Klimt's original work. This painting offers a modern yet austere vision of love, in which every detail illustrates a profound tension between passion and structure.
