Very neutral frame that goes with any decor French artist Bernard Buffet was born in 1928 and passed away in 1999. He studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (National School of the Fine Arts) in Paris, France in the 1940s before briefly working as an apprentice to the painter Eugène Narbonne. Mr. Buttet was a prolitic artist during his 50-plus year career, creating an estimated 8,000 paintings, prints, and watercolors. Mr. Buffet was rendered an Expressionist in style as he would typically create with emphasis on geometry and grids, but he is perhaps best known for his work in the Miserabilist style, which was often characterized by portraits with haunting, angular faces. The popularity of Buffet's work, as well as the level of media attention around his lifestyle, were quite high in the 1950s and 1960s. In the 21st century, there has been a renewed spike in interest in the work of Buffet. His works can be seen in the collections of the world's leading museums, including the Musee d'art Moderne de Paris, the Tate, and the Museum of Modern Art.
