Bernard Buffet

Born in 1928, studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris. At the age of 20, he was awardee the Prix de la Critique and became the one of the most important artists in Post-war Europe. He continuously presented a number of works of various themes after contracting with Galerie Drouant-David (later Galerie Maurice Garnier). Since the conclusion of the exclusive contract of sales in Asia with Galerie Tamenaga in 1969, his fame spread not only Japan but also the rest of Asia as well as Western countries.
