Bernard Buffet - Pensees
Beautiful Original Lithograph printed by Mourlot in 1965.
Signed in the plate (Signed in the plate means the signature is part of the printing process).
This original print is from the rare Mourlot catalogue, published in the 60’s in conjunction with London’s prestigious Redfern Gallery on the occasion of a Mourlot exhibition and as an expression of Franco-English friendship.
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.
