Les Folles: La mariée 1970

"Les Folles: La mariée," a 1970 painting by Bernard Buffet, depicts a group of women in various states of undress, suggesting a scene of Parisian nightlife. The artist's signature style is evident in the simplified, almost skeletal figures and the limited color palette, dominated by blacks, browns, and a touch of crimson. Buffet's stark portrayal of the female form, often considered somewhat grotesque, creates a haunting and provocative atmosphere, drawing attention to the darker side of Parisian life.
