Bernard Buffet - Homage to Dufy
Lovely original lithograph (after the watercolor) printed in 1965 by Mourlot Freres.
Bernard Buffet was one of the artists who contributed compositions to Marcelle Oury’s “Lettre à mon peintre” in homage to Raoul Dufy. This lithograph was printed on Arjomari wove paper.
Bernard Buffet was born July 10, 1928 in Paris. In December 1943, he entered the EcoleNationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts where he studied for two years. After this he worked alone. In 1946, he had his first painting shown, a self-portrait, at the Salon des Moins de Trente Ans at the Galerie Beaux-Arts. In 1947, he exhibited L’homme accoudé at the Salon des Indépendants and in December of the same year he had his first solo exhibition , at the Art Impressions book shop in Paris, organised by Guy Weelen and Michel Brient. Raymond Cogniat bought, for the Paris National Museum of Modem Art, a painting entitled Nature morte au poulet.
