This book provides an insider view of the artist's creative universe through photographs taken by life-long friends and observers of Buffet, one of the most significant artists of postwar Paris.
Bernard Buffet was astonishingly prolific, producing over eight thousand oil paintings, sketches, watercolors, lithographs, and engravings before his tragic suicide in 1999. This intimate album of the artist at work in his studio traces his steps from the 1940s to the 1970s, from the savage coasts of Brittany to glittering St. Tropez, where he met and married his wife Annabel. With unique insight into the artist's interests and influences-from the French primitives of Avignon to Flemish painting and Courbet-this book constitutes the only publication available today on Buffet's life andThis book provides an insider view of the artist's creative universe through photographs taken by life-long friends and observers of Buffet, one of the most significant artists of postwar Paris.

ベルナール・ビュッフェ好きにはお薦め！

Reviewed in Japan on December 31, 2006

Verified Purchase

ビュッフェに関しての書籍はいくつか出版されていますが、アトリエやアトリエでの製作状況などはあまりオープンにはされていないと思います。この書籍は、若い頃から晩年までのビュッフェの製作状況を多くの写真で紹介されています。文章は英語ですから、がんばればなんとか読んでいけるのではないでしょうか。

アトリエ兼自宅での、アナベル婦人との仲の良い写真や、製作がどのように進められていたかを知るには必須と言っても良い書籍だと思います。

写真はすべてモノクロですが、大半が144ページの大半が写真ですので、たとえ読むのが厳しい方でも楽しめると思います。

作品だけでなく、その背景を知ることで、よりビュッフェを知ることができると思います。そうしたことを助けてくれる資料と思います。
