Bernard Buffet is recognised as a master in his art, and his paintings are collected in the most famous museums around the world. Bernard Buffet represents a typical demonstration of the divorce between the French and Contemporary Art. Popular artist by excellence, Bernard Buffet loved by the public is however detested by elitists whom hold against him his prolixity : 8,000 paintings, water colors,drawings, lithographs and engravings.So few material and very little colour, only greys, black, "bistres", and greens.  Bernard Buffet's style can be recognised among others by a network of "dry" straight lines grey gaces, wrinkled foreheads, scarce straight hair, tensed hands. His characters seemed crucified. This new artistic personality is recognised : Bernard Buffet's style is born.Bernard BUFFET has also been classed as a figurative painter, opposed to abstracts, but also and certainly to painters which practised "Social Realism".*Retrieved from: http://museebernardbuffet.com/enminibio.html
