Bernard Buffet developed a figurative expressionist style in a post-war period dominated by abstraction. He developed an eminently graphic aesthetic characterized by strong black lines and angular drawing. The network of crosshatching, also present on the backgrounds of his compositions, provides a plastic link between the various elements of the image. <\/p>\n

He showed an aptitude for drawing from an early age. He left the Lyc\u00e9e Carnot in 1943 and entered Eug\u00e8ne Narbonne’s studio at the \u00c9cole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure des Beaux-Arts the following year. The death of his mother in 1945 affected him deeply. The artistic landscape in which Buffet’s art emerged in the years following the Liberation saw the consecration of the great historical figures of modernism, such as Matisse, Picasso, L\u00e9ger and Chagall. They were showcased at art fairs and exhibitions. The 1944 Salon d’Automne, known as the “Salon de la Lib\u00e9ration”, presented a major retrospective of Picasso’s work, while the following year’s Salon d’Automne celebrated the work of Matisse. Jean Cassou, the first director of the Mus\u00e9e National d’Art Moderne, organized exhibitions of their recent work during the first years of the institution’s opening, inaugurated in June 1947.<\/p>\n In addition to the omnipresence of these great pioneers, the art scene of the time was dominated by abstraction, particularly that of art informel, to use the term coined by Michel Tapi\u00e9. In this context, Buffet, along with Paul Rebeyrolle, Andr\u00e9 Cottavoz and Andr\u00e9 Minaux, was one of the representatives of a humanist “new realism” that placed man at the center of his art, championed by Claude Roger-Marx, Pierre Descargues and Jean Bouret, famous for his stance against abstract art. In the quarrel between abstract and figurative art, these painters banded together, exhibiting at the Salon des Moins de Trente ans, the Manifeste de l’Homme T\u00e9moin<\/em> and the Salon de la Jeune Peinture, while other events were organized to promote and defend abstraction, such as the Salon des R\u00e9alit\u00e9s nouvelles created in 1946. <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Read the full biography<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” z_index=”500″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1400px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||1px|||” header_2_text_align_tablet=”” header_2_text_align_phone=”center” header_2_text_align_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_menu menu_id=”264″ menu_style=”centered” active_link_color=”#000000″ dropdown_menu_bg_color=”#FFFFFF” dropdown_menu_line_color=”#FFFFFF” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” menu_font=”–et_global_body_font|300||on|||||” menu_text_color=”#000000″ menu_font_size=”16px” menu_letter_spacing=”2px” background_enable_color=”off” text_orientation_tablet=”” text_orientation_phone=”center” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment_tablet=”” module_alignment_phone=”center” module_alignment_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_menu][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.7.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”rgba(216,216,216,0.11)” global_module=”8808″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_line_height=”1.9em” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”23px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nWorks of art by the artist Bernard Buffet<\/h2>\n
