Bernard BUFFET, 1928-1999 Self-portrait, 1981 oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left, on the back: Self-portrait 8 and 81D in graphite on the frame 130 x 89 cm ATTENTION: PRIOR REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED TO BID ON THIS LOT A certificate of Mr Maurice Garnier dated November 19, 1997 will be given to the buyer Bernard Buffet's self-portraits are very graphic: they show the artist as he sees himself and what he feels, not as he really is. The monochrome of this mise en abyme is enriched by ochre and yellow tones in counterpoint to the diversity of blacks and grays. For me, the important thing about a figure is not whether it is female or male. I seek above all the intensity of the expression by the firmness of the drawing of their features. Bernard Buffet, 1992.
