His paintings often deal with one subject, such as views of certain cities, flowers, ships, insects etc. Bernard Buffet joins the Paris artists group "L' homme témoin" and develops his own unmistakable Neo-Realist style that has a socio-critical approach. Bernard Buffet's structured works are dominated by dark lines, which gives them a dramatic effect. In 1955 he is elected the most important post-war artist by the art magazine "Connaissance des Arts".     The numerous self-portraits play an important role in his oeuvre. Besides paintings, Bernard Buffet also makes an extensive oeuvre of graphic art and also large sculptures.  Bernard Buffet dies in Tourtour 1999, committing suicide as the Parkinson disease had limited his abilities so much that he was not able to paint any longer.*retrieved from: http://www.bernhard-buffet.com/
