The Invention of the Modern Mega-artist

By TheStyleFibula | 16/06/2017

While looking for information on Yves Saint Laurent, I came across an artist called Bernard Buffet (1928-1999), whose fame at his 21 in 1949 was compared to Picasso’s.

He was together with Pierre Bergé, before the latter left him for with Yves Saint Laurent.

A man of great talent and one of the best post-war artists, Buffet never stopped to amaze the audience by both his talent and the lack of it.

Nicholas Foulkes’ book Bernard Buffet: the Invention of the Modern Mega-artist invites a discourse into the Bohemian world of art and fashion. This is the book I will definitely be reading next week🤓

I believe when knowledge meets passion they can do a lot for a person, making the person pass it on to the people around one and this is how, I think, any changes in the world take place.
