Une tulipe et trois jacinthes by Bernard Buffet
Bernard Buffet
1928-1999 | French
Une tulipe et trois jacinthes
(A Tulip and Three Hyacinths)
Signed and dated "Bernard Buffet 1986" (upper and lower right)
Oil on canvas
This vibrant masterwork embodies the celebrated French artist Bernard Buffet at his best. He was one of France's most innovative 20th-century painters, perfectly capturing the existential spirit of the Post-War era with his dramatic, angular style. This extraordinarily large-scale floral still life exemplifies why Buffet was the most coveted and collected artist in France in his day.
Buffet, a prominent member of the artistic movement L'Homme Témoin (The Witness-Man), rejected the ideals of abstraction, favoring the expression of reality and raw emotion. While the group was known for its generally pessimistic outlook, Buffet’s embrace of vivid colors and moments of lightness was uniquely his own. In this work, his unmistakable style brings a pair of potted plants to life with exceptional brilliance. The interplay of electrifying complementary colors and his signature black lines results in a mesmerizing masterwork by this renowned artist.
Born in Paris, Buffet began his art studies at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in December 1943, training in the studio of painter Eugène Narbonne. After just two years, Buffet set out on his own, launching a successful career that began with the exhibition of a self-portrait at the Salon des Moins de Trente Ans at Galerie Beaux-Arts in 1946. His striking compositions brought him global fame and fortune at a remarkably young age. Buffet’s works are now held in prestigious institutions worldwide, such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Tate Gallery and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among many others. His legacy is further celebrated by museums in Japan dedicated exclusively to his oeuvre.
This work is accompanied by its certificate of authenticity issued by Danielle Buffet.
