Bernard Buffet was a painter of great precocity who made his name as early as 1948. During the 1950s he was influenced by the 1940s movement known as Miserabilisme, of which Gruber was also an exponent. Sad greys, thin spiky forms, and an obtrusively angular signature characterized his style. In later years he painted views of London, Paris and New York, as well as of Toreadors and St Joan of Arc.

There are works in Cincinnati, London (Tate), New York (Brooklyn), Paris (Mus. d'Art Mod.) and Toronto.

French painter who trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris. The expressive draughtsmanship of his early near-monochromatic paintings became - under the pressure of his phenomenal public success - a mannerism.
