“The Still Object” conveys deep sentiment with the colors and lines used in the painting. Smooth dark lines outline the delicate leg that supports the plate and the slender vase. The still objects of color of the same tone are steadily laid on the table in tranquility while accepting the passing of time in a cool and composed fashion. The blackish green background creates a sense of solid air while the disposition of the objects changes with the viewer’s mindset.
With his conscientious arrangement and precise brushwork, Buffet presents the tenderness of humanity in those irregular but strong black lines. The tough and solid atmosphere of his painting is penetrating and creates a tranquil but lonely poetic air at a corner in a room.
