Bernard BUFFET (Bernard Léon Edmond Buffet), 1928 / 1999 (French)
Painter, set designer, watercolorist, sculptor, illustrator.
In Paris, he enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts and joined the studio of painter Eugène Narbonne. There he became friends with his classmates Maurice Boitel and Louis Vuillermoz. In 1947, he exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants, and in the same year the French government purchased 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 immersed himself in the broad black strokes and bright colors of expressionism, composing characters and 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 ashes were scattered there. His extensive output means that he remains an active artist in our imagination despite his death.
