Bernard BUFFET ( Bernard Léon Edmond Buffet ), 1928 / 1999 ( French ) Painter, set painter, watercolorist, sculptor, illustrator.
In Paris, he entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and joined the studio of painter Eugène Narbonne. There, he made friends with 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 art and Impressionism, 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. In spite of his death, his considerable output still makes him an active artist and a presence in our imagination. Museums: Clermont-Ferrand, Higashino, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Vatican. Exhibitions: New York, Chicago, Palm Beach (Florida), Montreal, Vancouver, Tokyo, Osaka, Johannesburg, London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin, Warsaw, Basel, Zurich, Geneva, Rome, Venice, Milan, Madrid, Paris, Lyon, Toulon,...
