Adored by collectors but often derided by critics and contemporaries, French painter and illustrator Bernard Buffet courted controversy from the moment he burst on to the Paris scene in the years following the Second World War. Buffets style changed little between his early work in series such as The Horrors of War (1955) and later paintings such as Sumo Rikishi (1980-1). By the 1950s success had transformed this archetype of the Left Bank existentialist into a world-famous artist-celebrity who travelled by Rolls-Royce and holidayed at his chateau in Provence. Buffet had developed a distinctive style of elongated, spiky forms, somber colors and flattened spaces. His signature black outline reduced reality to the point of abstract.
