| biography:
| Painter, born in Paris, France. He made his name in the early 1950s with murky still-lifes, and interiors with skinny, miserable figures painted in a sharp linear style and a neutral, almost monochromatic palette which seemed to catch the mood (‘existential alienation’) of post-war Paris. He has exhibited regularly in Paris and occasionally in London. In 1973 a Buffet Museum was established in Japan. |
