Bernard Buffet was
a French painter of Expressionism and a member of the anti-abstract art group
L'homme Témoin (the Witness-Man). Buffet was born in Paris, France, and studied
art there at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (National School of
the Fine Arts) and worked in the studio of the painter Eugène Narbonne. Among
his classmates were Maurice Boitel and Louis Vuillermoz. He met the French
painter Marie-Thérèse Auffray and was influenced by her work. Sustained by the
picture-dealer Maurice Garnier, Buffet produced religious pieces, landscapes,
portraits and still-lifes. In 1946, he had his first painting shown, a
self-portrait, at the Salon des Moins de Trente Ans at the Galerie Beaux-Arts.
He had at least one major exhibition every year. Buffet illustrated "Les
Chants de Maldoror" written by Comte de Lautréamont in 1952. In 1955, he
was awarded the first prize by the magazine Connaissance des Arts, which named
the ten best post-war artists. In 1958, at the age of 30, the first
retrospective of his work was held at the Galerie Charpentier. Buffet committed
suicide[5] at his home in Tourtour, southern France, on 4 October 1999. He was
suffering from Parkinson's disease and was no longer able to work.
