Bernard Buffet was one of the most famous and respected French artists of the 20th century. His distinctive style, recognizable throughout the world, earned him immense popularity. He was a versatile artist, creating oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, prints and theater sets.
His work is characterized by: expressive lines-Buffet used strong, black contour lines, which gave his works an austere, ornament-free look; sparing colors:-his color palette was usually limited, often dominated by grays, browns and dark greens, which enhanced the melancholic mood of the works.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Buffet was a pop-culture format star in France (comparable to Yves Saint Laurent). His series of works depicting Paris were extremely popular. The views of Paris in his work, however, are not "postcard" in the happy sense of the word. They are visions of a city desolate, austere and full of existential sadness after World War II.
Bernard Buffet's works are prized by collectors around the world. His works can be found in many museums and galleries, as well as in private collections.
