Born in Paris in 1928, he had his first solo exhibition at age 19; by 21 he was considered one of the greatest stars of the art world and was named one of \u003cem\u003eThe Fabulous Five\u003c\/em\u003e cultural figures of Post-War France (alongside Brigitte Bardot, Françoise Sagan, Roger Vadim, and Yves Saint Laurent). His signature style — thick black cross-hatched linework, elongated figures, somber palettes, and a deliberately flat perspective — made his work instantly recognizable. Subjects ranged across religion, landscapes, portraits, still lifes, clowns, and Parisian cityscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lithograph was produced at \u003cstrong\u003eAtelier Mourlot\u003c\/strong\u003e, the legendary Paris printing house founded by the Mourlot family in 1852. Mourlot was \u003cem\u003ethe\u003c\/em\u003e fine-art lithography studio of the 20th century — the place where Picasso, Chagall, Miró, Braque, Léger, and Calder produced their most important printmaking projects. The 1967 Mourlot project invited Buffet and other leading artists to produce a series of original lithographic compositions to celebrate the opening of Mourlot's New York studio at the Westbeth Complex in the West Village. The \u003cem\u003eCannes\u003c\/em\u003e image captures the palm trees and sailboats of the French Riviera — one of Buffet's most beloved subjects, rendered in his signature expressive linework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScarcity \u0026amp; Market Context\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuffet's work has seen a dramatic resurgence in the 21st century following the 2017 Centre Pompidou retrospective in Paris; his work is particularly popular in Europe and Asia, and auction records have been broken repeatedly in recent years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstitutional Holdings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMajor Buffet holdings at the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Musée Bernard Buffet (Surugadaira, Japan), the Tate (London), the Hermitage (St. Petersburg), and major European and Japanese modern art collections.
