"Bernard Buffet, Glass And Fig Leaf - 1950"
Bernard BUFFET is a major artist of the 20th century. He asserts himself in a very personal and immediately recognizable style, "using the pencil and the pen like a scalpel". According to Maurice Druon, he is "the only important academic of our time... continuing with a personal step the path traced by Ingres and Courbet". The work we are presenting is characteristic of the excellent so-called "miserabilist" period of the late 1940s and early 1950s.
It is signed upper right and dated 50.
Accompanied by a certificate from Maurice Garnier.
