Original lithographic invitation with art by Bernard Buffet for exhibition title “Autoportraits” at the Galerie Maurice Garnier in Paris 1982.

Bernard Buffet was a prominent French painter and one of the leading figures of the post-war School of Paris. He gained fame in the mid-20th century for his distinctive style, characterized by stark lines, somber colors, and a focus on urban and figurative subjects.

Buffet's subjects varied from still lifes and landscapes to portraits and self-portraits. He was also known for his depictions of clowns and harlequins, which often carried a sense of melancholy.

The invitation is framed with a hand silvered frame, light passepartout, and a light gray background.
