                        Est: $60,000 - $80,000

                        BERNARD BUFFET (French, 1928 - 1999) ENVIRONS DE SAINT-GILLES, 1975 oil on canvas 89.5 x 130.0 cm signed upper right: Bernard Buffet dated upper left: 1975 inscribed verso: environs de / Saint – Gilles / (Yonne) / AH 75 / La cure / et les Roches PROVENANCE Galerie Maurice Garnier, Paris (bears gallery stamp verso) Galerie Taménaga, Japan (label attached verso) Private collection, Japan Thence by descent Private collection, Queensland ESSAY We are grateful to Galerie Maurice Garnier, Paris, for their assistance with this catalogue entry. By 1975, Bernard Buffet, once hailed as France’s finest post-war painter,1 had weathered the worst of institutional and critical denigration in his home country, finally being elected into the Académie des Beaux-Arts in March 1974, the youngest member to hold a seat within the venerable institution. Now, some thirty years after his death, Buffet’s abundant oeuvre and its influence on the course of modern art are being comprehensively reevaluated. Growing up in occupied France and coming of age during the material privations and societal malaise that followed World War Two, Buffet’s acclaimed early works were infused with Gallic spleen2, sapped of colour and spatial depth. In stark contrast to these spiky, grey, and anguished paintings, Buffet’s picturesque landscapes of the 1970s display a yearning for bucolic tranquillity and a re-affirmation of his links with the great artists of the French pantheon whom he idolised, namely the 19th-century painter, Gustave Courbet.   Mirroring the semi-rural setting of his magnificent medieval residence, the Château Villers Le Mahieu – the Buffets’ family residence from 1971 to 1979 – the artist’s artworks throughout the seventies had familiar and comfortable subject matter: his young children, boats and harbours, and local landscapes of the French countryside. Environs de Saint-Gilles, 1975 depicts a dramatic landscape dominated by a steep valley through which runs a fast-flowing stream. Counterbalancing a row of towering quivering poplar trees growing on the riverbanks is a rugged limestone cliff face surging from the landscape on the right-hand side of the composition. Although Buffet was approximative with the exact locations of his landscapes in his titles, often using words such as ‘near to’ and ‘surrounds of’, this defining geological feature was singled out within his title as ‘Les Rochers’. In contrast to previous picture-postcard views of notable landmarks, Environs de Saint-Gilles, and many other paintings from this period were conceived (and marketed in solo exhibitions at Garnier Gallery) as typical and unremarkable landscapes, familiar to many local audiences and quaintly French to his many admirers overseas.   A member of the L’Homme Témoin (Man as Witness) group supporting expressive social realism as opposed to modern abstraction, Buffet emphasised the everyday nature of his subject matter, insisting ‘realist painting for me is concreteness… the representation of things.’3 In this vein, Buffet’s early landscapes were mostly restricted to flat deserted cityscapes, whose rectilinear structure and sepulchral greyness suited the artist’s recognisable graphic style. Here, Environs de Saint-Gilles, although also devoid of human presence and painted with a reduced tonal palette, radiates with soft organic untidiness and vital forces. Buffet looked to Courbet, a painter he most admired, for the comforting indeterminacy of his landscape; the conception of the landscape as a reflection of one’s mood (this painting was created during a rare period of sobriety in Buffet’s life), as well as for guidance on the technical savoir-faire of creating a realist landscape. Echoing Courbet’s paintings of rocky outcrops and streams of Ornans, Environs de Saint-Gilles used foundational black ground over which texture is palpably built up with the use of a palette knife and expressive scumbling. Courbet was a titanic figure in the post-war discourse on painting, a guiding figure for opposing stylistic factions of social realists and formal abstractionists.4 For Buffet, Courbet was ‘the painter’ upon whom he modelled himself, and in whom he found comfort during difficult and lonely periods of his long life.   1.

                        Bernard Buffet (1928-1999) French, Etching

                        Est: $400 - $800

                        Bernard Buffet (1928-1999) French, Etching. Depicts a canal in the "Miserabilist" style. Signed and dated '56 top middle.  Frame: 21 3/4 x 31 5/8 in. Sight: 13 1/2 x 22 in. #3159 .  Bernard Buffet was born in 1928 in Paris, where he spent most of his childhood. He was from a middle-class family with roots in Northern and Western France, and his mother often took him to the Louvre Museum, where he became familiar with the works of Realist painters such as Gustave Courbet. Bernard Buffet was a student at the Lycée Carnot during the Nazi occupation of Paris, as well as studying at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. He worked in the studio of the painter Eugène Narbonne and met Marie-Thérèse Auffray, especially influenced by her work. Buffet’s mother died from breast cancer in 1945, which remained a source of traumatic melancholy throughout his life, inspiring many of the stark, dark images he created. Buffet produced religious pieces, landscapes, portraits and still-lifes. Influenced by Francis Gruber, he often painted so-called “Miserabilist” scenes of despair, including scenes of poverty and Holocaust victims, with nearly all the work in his adult life characterized by thick black lines, elongated forms, and a lack of depth of field. In 1946, he had his first painting shown, a self-portrait, at the Salon des Moins de Trente Ans at the Galerie Beaux-Arts. An extremely prolific painter, he had at least one major exhibition every year for the next three decades. By the age of 21, Buffet was already considered one of the greatest stars of the European art world, frequently compared to Pablo Picasso. By the age 26, it was said that he had completed more paintings than Pierre-Auguste Renoir had in his entire lifetime, and in 1958 an article in The New York Times called him one of the “Fabulous Five” cultural figures of post-war France (the other four being Brigitte Bardot, Françoise Sagan, Roger Vadim, and Yves Saint Laurent). That same year he was commissioned to make the portrait of Charles de Gaulle for the Time Man of the Year magazine cover. In the mid 1960s the public and the art world began to lose interest in him, as his lavish lifestyle made him seem out of touch with the still-struggling economy of post-war France. Picasso further worsened Buffet’s reputation by publicly denigrating his work, and Buffet also attracted the enmity of novelist André Malraux, the powerful French Minister of Culture. Despite his reduced reputation, Buffet was named “Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur” in 1973, the same year the Bernard Buffet Museum was founded by Kiichiro Okano, a private collector, in Surugadaira, Japan. In the 1990s, he claimed he had completed a painting a day for more than four decades, but in the words of one art historian, many of these later works were “unequivocally bad,” “poorly executed,” and “clearly rushed.” It is estimated that he created more than 8,000 works in total. Buffet was bisexual, and his paintings have been noted for their homoerotic themes. Industrialist Pierre Bergé was Buffet’s live-in lover for eight years from 1950 to 1958, before leaving him for Yves Saint Laurent. That same year Buffet married the writer and actress Annabel Schwob, and they adopted three children, but his life was plagued by depression and he began to succumb to Parkinson’s as early as the late 1980s. Buffet died by suicide at his palatial home in Tourtour, southern France, on October 4th, 1999. In the 21st Century his work found new appreciation, particularly in Asia and former Soviet Union nations, and shifting tastes have helped reevaluate his impact on the artistic world as a French celebrity and post-Expressionist pioneer.
