Bernard Buffet - Miserabilist
You may not recognize the name Bernard Buffet but you'll almost certainly recognize his artwork and distinctive style:
- thick black lines and outlines
- angular and elongated depiction of his subjects
- somber colors
- tense facial expressions and limb orientations-
- general feeling if loneliness and unhappiness, even with "happy" subject matter
He was an Miserabilist (French Expressionist Painter) very closely associated with American Mid-century style art but his art is as alive today as it was in 1955.

- Very absorbing work. Buffet really brings you into his world but I don't want to stay too long - very depressing!

- His work is definitely very interesting, and I do prefer "interesting" to "pretty." I like the art in the "Architecture" and "Still Life" categories the best, but to be fair, I generally don't care much for paintings that depict people. His work has a lot of energy and emotion, and is quite engaging. Nice selection of work to view in this lens!
