Bernard BUFFET ( Bernard Léon Edmond Buffet ), 1928 / 1999 ( French )
Painter, set painter, watercolorist, sculptor, illustrator.
In Paris, he enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and joined the studio of painter Eugène Narbonne. There he met fellow students Maurice Boitel and Louis Vuillermoz. In 1947, he exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants, and the same year the French government bought his first painting for the Musée National d'Art Moderne. In 1952, he won the Prix Antral awarded by the City of Paris.
Rejecting all forms of abstract and impressionist art, Buffet plunged into the broad black strokes and vivid colors of expressionism, composing figures, clowns, animals, nudes, landscapes, interiors, still lifes, flowers and religious paintings. He painted all over the world. He was particularly devoted to Japan, where a museum is entirely dedicated to him, so much so that his own ashes were scattered there. Despite his death, his large body of work remains an active presence in our imagination.
