BERNARD BUFFET INTRO (INSERT SIGNATURE CUTOUT)
From the inception of his career to the present day, Bernard Buffet had been everything from an overnight millionaire, a popstar, an iconoclast and a recluse. His works have been called everything from challenging to kitsch, taboo to transformative, yet they have been celebrated, abandoned and celebrated once again. Whether Buffet’s works are loved or hated, it is impossible to ignore the fierce response they evoke. At once a traditional painter and unwitting member of the French avant-garde, Buffet's hand-crafted style and prolific output evoke an off-kilter alternative to the spectacular commercial serialism of Pop. The kind of popularity that Bernard Buffet experienced as a young painter in the 1950s is quite unparalleled in the twentieth-century visual arts in terms of both its intensity and its broad social reach. Buffet’s art was, as the author Maurice Druon wrote as late as the mid-1960s, “on the street.” It was to be found on the covers of magazines and LPs, on postcards, postage stamps, wall plates, giftwrap and plastic bags.
The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Maurice & Ida Garnier.
