About the Item

This artwork, titled "Clown sur Fond Bleu" from the suite "Clowns" 1985, is an original color lithograph on Arches watermarked paper by renown French artist Bernard Buffet, 1928-1999. It is hand signed and numbered 148/150 in pencil by the artist. The image size is 25.85 x 19.65 inches. The sheet size is 30 x 22.75 inches. It is in excellent condition. Bernard Buffet was born in Paris, France on July 10, 1928. He entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts in 1944 but worked mostly in solitude. He obtained an exhibition at the Gal. des Impressions d'Art in 1947 but attracted no attention. About that time he found his individual style and in 1948 won the Prix de la Critique jointly with Bernard Lorjou. After that he enjoyed the greatest acclaim of the younger French painters, becoming the most commercially successful French painter alive. Unfortunately, he suffered from Parkinson's disease and had been unable to work and on October 4, 1999 at his home in Var in southern France, he committed suicide. His work is held in major museum and collections around the world.
